A flight change of plans is created written and executive produced by Neem Maya Shunker. The best part of creating this show is getting to collaborate with my formidable slight change family. An organizational psychologist, Adam Grant, wants to help you shift your perspective. Listen to rethinking from the TED Audio Collective, wherever you get your podcasts.
When it comes to reaching our big goals, focusing too much on natural ability can be counterproductive because it’s something we can’t change. Instead, psychologist Angela Duckworth wants us to focus on cultivating grit. For our final episode of this special New Years miniseries, Maya selected this interview from the archives about grit, which Angela defines as a “power combination of passion and perseverance.” Plus, Angela offers four key strategies we can use to more easily resist temptations and stay the course. As always, we’d love to hear which insights resonate most with you. You can connect with Maya on Instagram at @drmayashankar.
