Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam M. Grant Book Summary Abbey Beathan (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) Adam Grant shows us a new way to approach success, one that he thinks is the best one. There are different types of people you are going to work with. Takers, matchers and givers. But according to Grant, the kind of worker you should be in order to achieve success is the giver, the one who focuses on helping without expecting anything in return. That statement is counterintuitive, most people would think that because givers are so easily exploited then it should be the worst approach. But actually, a low percentage of givers burn out. Most of them achieve extraordinary results. (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) "The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade." - Adam M. Grant It might be hard for you to believe that altruistic behaviour actually gets results but it does. Givers are respected, people are eager to collaborate with them and you actually learn a lot by helping people out. Grant provides evidence and captivating stories about people who obtained amazing results by being givers. Don't be a taker, work cooperatively! You'll feel good about it and also climb faster than any other person. Praised by many best-selling authors, Give and Take is a gem for any person who desires to obtain the most successful attitude
