Episode notes

When you go from beginner to novice, your confidence climbs faster than your competence. You can get stuck there where you're basically on this mountain of stupidity. And i think a lot of people spend their live stranded on the summit of mount stupid. This ise the brain child of a simatific who is one of our ph dtuns and is now in t mit faculty. She was struck by the fact that why do we have to turn this impostor feeling into a cindrum? I feel thi you can't have got into this when you were talking about impostor sindronya - Timmy looled at morbote yeso.

How to manage procrastination according to Margaret Atwood, how to work around your first-instinct fallacy, the upsides of imposter syndrome, the best way to avoid falling prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect, how to avoid thinking like a preacher, prosecutor, or politician so you can think like a scientist instead – and that’s just the beginning of the conversation in this episode with psychologist, podcast host, and author Adam Grant.

In the show, we discuss both his new book – Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know – and his TED Original Podcast, WorkLife, in which he interviewed Margaret Atwood, the author of The Handmaid’s Tale, to learn how she deals with the constant allure of social media and streaming videos in a future where giving in to procrastination is easier than it has ever been.

In the show, you’ll hear portions of that interview followed by a lengthy interview with Grant about his new book in this all-over-the-place, extensive exploration of how to rethink your own thinking.
