Episode notes

You can ask yourself to effectively put on a second hat and play devil's advocate. This is known variously as wisdom of a crowd or, as I mentioned earlier, getting non redundant inputs. And so there's great value in that. But by pushing yourself, you might come to new ideas - the creative cliff illusion says we'll get to the good stuff later on.

At some point, we all get stuck. Maybe it’s in a job or career. Maybe it’s a relationship or business venture. Though it’s something we all experience, when it happens, we can feel alone and out of our depth. Emotions may overwhelm us. Mental traps lure is in. In no time at all, we can’t see a way out. Award-winning professor, researcher, and author, Adam Alter, has spent decades studying how successful people get unstuck. In his latest book, Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most, he shares what we can do to move forward. Adam’s recommendations can help us with what might be the most important times in our lives.
