Efficiently Helping Others

Adam Grant shares his favorite practice for efficiently helping others: the five-minute favor. By adding high value to other people's lives at a low personal cost, we can all do three or four more five-minute favors in a given week than we probably do. Making introductions is Adam's favorite way to help, and he has done it every day for 12 years, resulting in over five dozen companies being started and even a few accidental marriages.
