There's something so romantic about winter and I don't know whether that's just because

I'm a bit of a homebody and I love a 5th.

But I think it's just the holiday period, it's just for me, it's the most romantic period.

And I think anyone who's listened to my records will know that I'm quite a big fan of romance.

So Adam Grant, author and speaker and business school professor and social media influencer

and TED Talk, multi-million hit wonder, best-selling author I should say.

I just want to say to you, thanks so much for joining us on Intelligent Squared.

Creativity here, John, I love the Intelligent Squared debates and I hope we're going to

get to do some debating during this conversation.

Yeah, we might well get to that.

But I first want to talk with you about the sense in which your contribution to our culture

and to society and to business on sort of an ongoing basis involves you're taking your

background in psychology, starting as an undergraduate, but then going on to everything that you

have learned since, what you keep on learning from reading and from talking to people and

from social psychology experiments is all sort of aimed at fixing something.

You do that for businesses and other clients, but anybody who writes a book like the one

you've come out with called Think Again.

Is definitely trying to fix something or at least point the way to doing something better.

And my first question to you is what is the thing that you're trying to point us to do

better these days out of?

There are a lot of them, which one.
