Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]
A pretty interesting read in general. Maybe not the most original theme, nor anything that hasn't been written about aplenty, but as a condensate of examples illustrating how we have plenty of hidden potential we could tap with (but don't always realise we can), I found it inspiring nonetheless. Inspiring for myself, that is, but also as a resource for deeper thoughts when it comes to making my way on the path of leadership, since all in all, I'm still fairly new to it. And, perhaps, it was simply also a book that reached me at the right time, in the right frame of mind? (Hello, Impostor Syndrome my old friend? Can you go back into the closet again? Thank you!)
To be fair, for someone who has read several books on this theme already, this one won't bring anything really new, even though it reads easily and is engaging. Otherwise, it will provide food for thought.
Conclusion: 3.5 stars
