Summary

Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, Wharton's top-rated professor and bestselling author offers up his surprising research on originality, including the fact that people who are "idea machines" are more likely to procrastinate, more likely to play it safe and just as likely to feel the same fear and doubt that the rest of us do.
