The Paradox of Givers and Takers - Deepstash

The Paradox of Givers and Takers

Grant introduces the concept of reciprocity styles—givers, takers, and matchers. Takers are primarily focused on their own interests, while matchers seek to maintain an even balance between giving and taking. Although givers can often be taken advantage of, Grant shows that the most successful people are often givers because they build goodwill and foster a culture of generosity around them.
