Episode notes
We find that when people use their highest strengths, more life goes better. So your exercise is now to take that thing you don't like doing at work and do it with your highest strength. For example, one of my students studied in the library at Penn until midnight. He declared it an Olympic event and timed it every night until he set the record. And this became the best part of his day. We have a culture in which we focus on traits that are wrong or ways in which we screw up. But even more important is to recognize the strengths you do have and then to use them more.
