    Fascinating and useful podcast
    Everyone I work with is probably sick of me saying “well if you listen to Adam Grant’s newest podcast…” the insights again from listening to this podcast each week are invaluable. This is one of my top five favorites.
  • Gregg Robins
    First class insight and analysis
    Adam is a first class scholar and commentator on all issues around work, organisations, and life. I love the curiosity he brings, the guests he invites, and the lively and provocative Q&A. Never disappoints.

    Two Great Minds
    Trevor Noah has one of the best minds in the business. It was so great to hear the two of them feeding off each other with respect and curiosity.

    Rethinking - yes and no (know)
    Rethinking reminds me of Joseph Grenny's (of Crucial Learning) "tag line": If I haven't challenged you, I haven't helped you. The topics are useful, interesting and sometimes frustrating.

    Love it but either fix the editing or hold off on cutting interviewees off
    Long time listener, first time reviewer. Love this show ! Some feedback to improve- I can’t tell if this is just the editing of the show, but the latest episode on Dunning-Kruger effect sounds like Adam is cutting off and interrupting the interviewee constantly- like the entire episode… it got super distracting! Otherwise not a lot else to gripe about, great job on the show!
  • @TheGirlPie
    Great show - BRILLIANT with Kara Swish
    Thank you Adam! Getting Kara on stage with you about her “Burn Book” is a total SAVE EPISODE. Keep up the great work, AG!
  • Begown
    Show is great, really thoroughly enjoyable
    This review section though is…something. Whether it is claiming the show lacks “diversity” and doesn’t scrutinize every trope used to make a point or saying that he allows antisemitism for (see if you can keep up here) - interviewing Jennifer Garner, who is friends with Mark Ruffalo, who called for a ceasefire in Gaza by saying we’re not going to “bomb our way to peace.” It’s exhausting.

    Rethinking Ray Dalio?
    I’ve been waiting for Adam’s response to The Fund, especially on this podcast. Even if Adam disagrees, shouldn’t he make some statement about it? Ive been following Adam for years, and even stuck around after Option B came out. I think this is a great show otherwise, I enjoy conversation with the scientists on this channel but the longer this thing with Bridgewater goes unaddressed by Adam, the more skeptical I become of the validity of anything Adam is writing and saying.

    Great Podcast!
    I am a regular listener and always enjoy hearing the conversation. But—-the opportunity to listen to Adam and Jennifer Garner was delightful! I look forward to reading the book and continuing to listen.

    Always learning
    Do you want to learn, grow, expand your mind and always think? This podcast combines great minds: incredible guests and a brilliant host who help us stretch, think differently and yes, grow by learning from others and not just relying on our own tunnel vision.
  • TraysJourney
    A Must Listen to Podcast!
    Adam Grant knows people and what makes them tick. Not only has he used this gift to share ideas about having a better life, but I feel, every single leader has so much to learn about creating a positive work culture and pull them into where we are, 2024 (after the Pandemic and how work places need to catch up!). Adam is hysterical, authentic and on point. Love his variety of guests (loving Rain Wilson). - TraysJourney

    The problem with Meetings
    As always, thought-provoking, funny, and memorable, your discussion on that modern plague of organizational life had some thoughtful findings and suggestions. You missed one though: how meetings are used as a way of hiding lack of preparation for the work or desire to do one’s share of the work. I’ve had more than a couple of seasoned professionals in high tech tell me that going to meetings is what they do; hence, measuring those contributions as what “they did” is very hard (they don’t have anything to show for it) so their evaluator is either forced to value going to meetings as very successful, unless the group’s output was an egregious failure, or not consider it positively in evaluating the individual meeting maven. Many employees simply don’t want to study and prepare for meetings, which require individual effort, because they don’t mind riding someone else’s coattails. And, since there are so many meetings occurring every day, they can spend their work days warming up chairs in generally passive participation. I remember suggesting running meetings like Bezos was rumored to have run his: the meeting started with a period of focused reading (reading! Wow!) of a multi-page memo on an issue and then an equally focused discussion on the memo. The murderous looks I got reminded me of the looks the temperance league got in saloons in old westerns. My own experience with meetings is that you reduce their number by loosely coupling the agenda to the meeting and, increasing the number of meetings with a daily one held at exactly the same time, outside of which no meeting (other than an emergency) can occur. Again, excellent program overall, only suggest considering other post-pandemic possibilities.

    What an incredible human being. Great podcast Adam. Keep up the GREAT work and talent you share with us! God bless.

    Lacks diversity, discourse
    I listened to the episode about stereotypes and the male guest, an expert on stereotypes, made a joke using the trope of the nagging wife. Adam did not call it out in the episode, and the remark made its way through the editing and production process. This speaks volumes about the podcast. On top of that, I do not see any place where the podcast is open for discourse with its listeners. Other podcasts will often have an email address where listeners can contact them with feedback or suggestions, and they may edit or make adjustments to episodes based on that. No such thing here. I expected better.

    Great show nice to get a different outlook
    Great show for the most part. A little to liberal at times for my liking but thats okay. Trying to find alternative outlooks on things and benefit my life for the better. Overall good for self growth!

    1/31/23 podcast with Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas
    So enjoyed Adam’s interview with Kaja. Very insightful questions and listening to her experiences and advice. This podcast should be mandated to anyone in a leadership role - especially females. Well done! Thank you!!

    Refreshing
    Adam has a way of discussing complex matters in very easily digestible ways. His work is easy to absorb and the lessons learned can be utilized in your real work/home life. Couldn’t recommend this more.

    Gestalt!!!
    I am awed by this human , not one to place too much emphasis on any judgement, good or bad , take it for what its worth he will add to your knowledge bank …..and pique curiosity with the help of so many equally important scholars on neuroscience , my personal favorite subject to ponder .
  • jclark007
