Listen "Unlocking Hidden Potential with Malcolm Gladwell"
Episode Synopsis
Malcolm Gladwell hosts a rollicking live discussion about Adam's new book, "Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things," which is out today. They explore why we overemphasize innate talent, how Adam grappled with impostor syndrome as a writer and perfectionism as an athlete, and how to chart a path toward achieving greater things. They also discuss the evidence on affirmative action — and riff on topics ranging from humility to psychoanalysis to whether Lions or Bills fans suffer more. This is a conversation from WorkLife with Adam Grant, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective about the science of making work not suck.
