Summary
From the audio bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and ORIGINALS. Why givers - not takers or matchers - win big. Perfect for anyone who enjoyed QUIET or THINKING FAST AND SLOW.
The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match, and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give. (Although they're not necessarily philanthropic.)
GIVE AND TAKE presents the fascinating secrets to givers' success. The results are unequivocal: givers gain big. Jack Welch, Richard Branson, Jon Huntsman Sr. - all of them are givers. In a world in which so many takers such as Bernard Madoff and Raj Rajaratnam have ruined lives and reputations, this book will reassure readers that the real power lies in becoming a giver. Since the vast majority of people aren't born givers, Grant not only presents the case for why givers win, he also offers their hidden strategies for winning.

Spot the takers and turn the other way.
A delightful book of insight into the world of giving. Very useful to those who can't stop giving to their detriment.
an update - I had to read it twice - you hear so much more the second time round!

Fantastic
Absolutely loved this book. You can guess what it’s about from the title but it keeps you engaged throughout.
I’ve read 300 or so business books and there are a lot of books that just recycle research. But this includes a tone of new studies I’ve never heard before.
It’s fantastically written with a great underlying story & narrative through each chapter and book making it easy to listen to. It’s one of those you want to keep listening to.
Thank you Adam Grant for writing this.

Excellent - A very insightful book
Really interesting content, very relevant to real life relationships and interactions. Great narrator. only minor comment was the number of sections that used American sports as the example - but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

Great way of looking at the world
I loved the first few chapters very interesting
The middle perhaps was drawn out a little
The last two chapters were excellent and I love the resource at the end
