"We often think that the key to personal success is: hard work, talent and luck. But today, Adam Grant shows in his landmark book: Success depends largely on how we deal with other people. Grant explores the motivations of the most successful people, using real stories to illustrate their behavioral patterns and discover the revolutionary methods to achieve lasting success. He takes us to see how the most successful networkers expand their network, and understand why the creative genius behind the most popular TV shows is willing to work in silence for so long. The collapse of Enron and the continuous fall of corporate icons over the years force us to pay attention to the real reasons behind these phenomena. He found that most of us can be divided into three categories: givers, matchers, and takers. Takers are only concerned with seeking benefits, and matchers are willing to exchange expected benefits, while givers are an unusual type of people: they are willing to share without asking for anything in return. In the book "Wharton's Most Popular Success Lessons," Grant counter-intuitively pointed out that the people who are best at giving are the most successful. Successful people. The people who can lead the company to glory and stand at the top of the pyramid are not takers and mutualists, but givers. And what factors make some givers become stepping stones and others become successful? Grant digs deep into this and guides us to develop our own social style and choose the most effective way of giving to achieve the most sustainable success. Grant pointed out that in the future, under the theme of "sharing" and "cooperation", only the influence of givers can truly bring stable and lasting power! "

The book mentions that givers are often the most successful people, which surprised me. Just like what is said in the book, "What are the risks and benefits of giving more than you get? The principle of giving and getting is a diplomatic strategy - make the most of it." We should also try to be a giver in our lives!
