Give and Take. by Adam Grant.

The topic of success and its relationship with generosity are the things that are taken up by Adam Grant in “Give and Take,” and what he comes up with is quite amazing. He points out that being generous is the main factor of moving towards success, along with other ways. The concepts developed by him comprise of givers, takers, and matchers. Mainly, the takers are selfish people who hate it when others get and are the good in the picture and matchers are those who need a certain equality; they are the ones that balance the situation. As for givers, they are the ones who selflessly contribute regardless of whether they receive in return or not.

One of the key features that distinguish this book is Grant’s convincing argument of the fact that givers, who are usually overlooked, might become more successful than takers, especially in teams where collaboration plays a significant role in the success of the team. He backs this up with the help of real-life examples and scientific research as well, showing that if one is a giver, then, he/she is also a receiver of the deeper relationships that are built, the higher trust between the members of the group, and the opportunity to exploit the potential of the people.

Nevertheless, Grant also states that giving should be done in moderation as if people give too much of themselves, they can end up with burnout and that can be bad for the individual as well as the other people in the act of giving.

Hope, this metaliteraray work will not be overlooked by the public. It is a well thought, based on the latest research, examination of how assisting others not only helps you build a career but also live happy and fulfilling life.
