Ask LuvemBooks about Adam Grant

Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School who writes popular science for general readers, and we've reviewed 1 of their books at LuvemBooks. In Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know, they make the case that rethinking and unlearning matter more than raw intelligence, building the argument from psychology research plus reported stories — a debate champion, vaccine persuaders, even a musician who talks white supremacists out of hate. Amazon readers rate their work at 4.6/5 on average.
Where should I start?
With only one Adam Grant book reviewed on LuvemBooks, the starting point is easy: Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know. It's a #1 New York Times bestseller with a 4.6/5 reader rating from 18,051 Amazon ratings, and its mix of research and real-world stories makes it an accessible entry into their work. Our review describes it as a polished synthesis rather than new ground, so expect an engaging overview rather than dense academic argument.
What's their writing style?
Based on our review of Think Again, Adam Grant writes research-driven popular science anchored by vivid, real-world case studies. They pair psychology findings with narratives — like a musician who steers white supremacists away from hate — to make abstract ideas about rethinking and unlearning feel concrete. The result, in our reviewer's words, is a polished synthesis of existing ideas rather than a dense academic text.
