Adam Grant, the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School's youngest tenured professor, and author of one of the best books of 2013 - Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success - joins The James Altucher Show today. Helpfulness is Adam's message. James asks Adam how he got into a topic that resonates so much with people. He says it all started in his early life when he was a diver. He started giving pointers to his competitors, and eventually one of those he helped ended up beating him in the state finals. This got him thinking... Is giving a zero-sum game? If he wants to win, do other people have to lose? Do you have a hard time asking people to help you? Adam talks about the huge difference between taking and receiving. Some interviews James does make you think hard about yourself. This one takes that to the extreme ------------What do YOU think of the show?
