How I Work

BEST OF: Adam Grant on how to turbo-charge productivity and motivation

***BEST OF HOW I WORK***


I'm currently taking a few weeks off, so today's episode is a Best Of episode. I've gone back through the archives of the last 2.5 years of hosting How I Work and picked out my absolute favourite episodes!


On today’s show, I speak to organizational psychologist, best-selling author and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, Adam Grant. His books Give and Take, Originals, and Option B have sold over one million copies and have been translated into 35 languages. Adam has been recognized as one of the world's 10 most influential management thinkers, was named one of Fortune’s 40 under 40, and he also happens to be the host of one of my favourite podcasts, WorkLife which is a TED original podcast.


In this conversation, we cover a whole bunch of topics such as:

  • How to make email more bearable
  • How becoming a parent completely changed Adam’s way of working
  • How Adam approaches social media usage
  • How Adam starts every week
  • Why meetings kill productivity
  • The podcasts Adam is listening to and books he is reading


And a whole lot more.


You can sign up to Adam’s e-newsletter Granted (one of my faves!) here: https://www.adamgrant.net

If you are looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a short monthly newsletter that contains three cool things that I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.
