Episode notes

i'm glad you didn't release the earlier book, because i think this is so much more exciting and novel. You have extended our minds by showing us how to extend our own minds. It's ironic ase i borrowed somebody else's idea to do it but i think most great ideas are borrowed. I never met him, but i've heard he was incredibly funny and witty and humane,. So clever and smart and and big loss for the field.

Our curators — Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink — recently named “The Extended Mind” by Annie Murphy Paul one of the best books of the year. In this episode, Annie returns to the Next Big Idea podcast for a spirited conversation with Adam in which she defends the fine art of fidgeting, suggests ways to improve group brainstorms, and gives Adam advice on how to talk to his childhood sensei.

By the way, Adam's brilliant TED podcast "WorkLife" is back now with a new batch of interviews — including a Nobel Prize winner, one of the world’s most influential leaders, a daredevil who’s mastered fear, and one of the most decorated Olympians ever. Find them on "WorkLife with Adam Grant" wherever you listen.
