Without non-conformists we wouldn't have some amazing inventions and businesses. I LOVE people who are original and change the world! I put this book on my list! I will definitely read it. Great video ~Cyn

What a great interview! Thank you so much!😊🙏

This talk never ages

Everyone watching/listening to this is stepping into their own power to live more freely!

Adam Grant is a Gem - every day he changes the lives of millions.

"It is an old association, and a misunderstanding, that to be a nonconformist is to be a rebel. The nonconformist is a reactionary; he acts out of anger, rage, violence and ego. His action is not based in consciousness. Although he goes against the society, just to be against the society is not necessarily to be right. In fact most of the time to move from one extreme to another is always to move from one wrong to another wrong. The rebel acts with a tremendous balance, and that is not possible without awareness, alertness, and immense compassion. It is not a reaction, it is an action -- not against the old, but for the new. The rebel is creating the new world so that this misery and this suffering and this ugly society disappears and man can live more naturally, more beautifully, more lovingly, more peacefully, enjoying all the riches that existence makes available, all the gifts of life which are invaluable. Freedom, love, silence, truth, enlightenment, the ultimate flowering of your being -- all are available to the true rebel. The hindrances just have to be removed. All the old structures were creating more and more hindrances and obstructions against your growth. If the rebel is against those obstructions, it is to enable the new man to live without fetters, to live without imprisonment, to live outside the concentration camps and to live a life as free as a bird on the wing ... as free as a rosebush dancing in the rain, in the sun; as free as a moon moving in the sky beyond the clouds in utter beauty, blissfulness and peace. The rebel is a totally different kind of man from the nonconformist. Never forget it, because to be a nonconformist is very easy, but to be a rebel needs a tremendous transformation in your being"

amazing book, from many 2016 books, this one really stands out and it's pretty practical .even if you are not creative it infuses you with originality when you read through it and see how he analysis one of the world's great risk takers .showing that they are human like us and that we lack nothing but to go out there and make it happen like they did, adam introduces tips on generating ideas too so i guess this is why i liked it, it's practical .

Excellent analogy, it answered many questions that would be banging us whole lifetime. Surely the book is a must read for me the original (or wanting to be original), thank a lot.

Now that was a great talk. Well played Adam - I just ordered your book on Amazon, sound like it will be a great read!!!

Amazing about the use of other internet browsers. At a quick analysis of my office....how on spot you are.

Awesome!! This video changed my life!! Made me feel better about a few things!! Thanku!! 🌺

The Seinfeld discussion is VERY similar to the history of The Power Ranger franchise (worth roughly $16 billion).

Gambling has one of the lowest correlations with wealth.

sounds to me like those engineers need to go back to school. If they actually knew any history in their field they would have known that Tesla had proven wireless power and utilized it in lighting 200 florescent bulbs from 25 miles away. Many of these "new" Technologies are in know way new they are lost due to the reasons he is explaining.
