61. Should We Just Ignore Our Weaknesses?
Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player
Has my perspective changed or have my standards lowered? I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Stephen Dubner. And you're listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show, is it better to invest in your strengths or improve on your weaknesses?
You might think I'm really funny, but then other people might say, uh. Also, why do we like and dislike? The things that we like and dislike. For two years I had the exact same lunch. On purpose?
Angela, this is a classic question from a listener. It's an essential question, I would argue. Okay, shoot. What is it? Did I build it up too much?
