James Carse is the author of Finite and Infinite Games and was a Professor and Director at NYU for 30 years. James recently passed away so we wanted to repost his episode which was originally episode #182. In his book Finite and Infinite Games, James discusses the two types of games- “One could be called finite; the other infinite.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end, but infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. His book is one you go back to and reread again and again throughout the years. This is a fascinating conversation exploring interesting topics such as teaching, thinking, discovering what drives you and so much more! “The first challenge a teacher has is getting their students to realize what they know—to come to terms with their knowledge, and therefore, know the limits of their knowledge. That’s where you begin to think. You don’t think about what you know; you think about the edge of what you know.”- James Carse Show Notes Checkout my Newsletter Connect with us! Whatgotyouthere “Uncover your talents.

Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular “Genius Course,” explores what we can learn from brilliant minds that have changed the world. Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word genius evokes these iconic figures, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society.Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a 4th grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. What does this say about our metrics for measuring success and achievement today? Professor Wright has devoted more than two decades to exploring these questions and probing the nature of this term, which is deeply embedded in our culture. In The Hidden Habits of Genius, he reveals what we can learn from the lives of those we have dubbed “geniuses,” past and present and looks at the 14 key traits of genius, from curiosity to creative maladjustment to obsession.
