You’d expect the psychologist behind the bestselling book Grit to tell you to try harder, but Angela Duckworth knows why that isn’t always the answer. In today’s episode, the University of Pennsylvania professor and MacArthur Fellow joins Ryan to discuss her new book, Situated, why certain people and places bring out our best, what she misunderstood about her own marriage, how we give away control of our attention, why our worst moments don’t tell the whole story, and more.
