That banner image at the top of your page here is highly misleading. It implies this is the place to come to get celebrity interviews. Anyone who's still subscribed now knows that this is now the place to come for shock docs telling you unless you change everything in your life you'll be dead in no time at all. Only 1 out of the last 20 videos here was anyone you'd vaguely call a celeb, and he's only a youtuber. UNSUBSCRIBED !!

Why is the unsubscribed number always stuck at 69%? 😏

The insights on procrastination were spot on! For entrepreneurs, it's crucial to break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. This approach reduces the overwhelm and makes it easier to start, which is often the hardest part.

[@Digital_District]

Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Plain and simple but oh so effective. I have set a reminder on my phone to remind me this every day . Thank you☺

Adam Grant has a resting smiley face. Love listening to him but looking at his face light up every time he cites his sources gives me even greater joy 😀

[@danwhalen3182]

After listening to Adam's discussion on disagreeable givers, I had a moment of clarity realizing that I fall into that category. Despite my genuine care for others and my proactive nature in wanting to assist them, I often find myself labeled as negative when I take initiative to rectify injustices or make positive changes. This insight has been invaluable in helping me understand myself better, acknowledging the complexity of my character and motivations. Thanks Adam!

[@mondavou9408]

That "you're negative" comment is BS, it takes awareness and insight to identify issues and takes TRUE positivity to improve the issue. Its a complete inversion of reality but its the prevailing perception and you have to find a balance or just be around folks that get it.

[@emesekiraly534]

Dear Stephen, Before I discovered your channel, I had been thinking that CEOs must be inhumane, not necessarily because of their nature, but because you have to make so many difficult decisions that you become kind of desensitized. Also, power and money can spoil even the best people. You have, however, have shattered my illusions about that. You're always so compassionate and supporting, it's just a joy to see. Thank you.

[@poonambhola7511]

I think when you’re describing moderate or effective procrastination, it’s really what I think of as a “brain break”. If you keep pushing at something when you’re stuck, or tired, you won’t make progress in a positive direction. But, if you give yourself a “brain break”, you come back to it with some “fresh-ness”.

[@paulinescott8285]

25:46 Loved this episode with Adam Grant. The understanding of perfectionism was really helpful to me. If I hadn't addressed my real struggle with perfectionism, I wouldn't take the risks that I have in my career. Imperfection still brings me anxiety. It's hard wired and a continuous process.

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

Wow!! Really happy this conversation resonated with you. Thank you for sharing! Team DOAC 🙏

[@chelseacheckington7421]

​@TheDiaryOfACEO Adam did briefly mention survivorship bias a bit before talking about how surviving uncomfortable positions increases tolerance to discomfort. I wish he'd gone more into the way that the trauma for some does lead to heightened anxiety for risk taking because when a person lacks privilege they often can not afford risk. Adam only very briefly mentions the marshmallow study, and it seems important to expand more on aspects of privilege in relation to repeated trauma. When you've experienced the bad things over and over, you might just try to cope by attempting to not end up back there, rather than pursuing your full potential, or you might lack the energy for pursuit. That seems like it could indicate some difference between trauma or even capital T Trauma, versus repeated capital T Trauma, which can cause changes in the brain and body that are permanent or more difficult to overcome. There's probably an unknown bell curve formula of amount of trauma combined with privilege that a person is able to have before the effects are more negative than positive. I feel both motivated and dejected by this talk, because I recognize in myself the natural capacity for many of the qualities Adam points to in originals, but I started in poverty, never got out of poverty, and I've lost more than one job for too openly questioning authority because something they suggested didn't even make sense by their own purported morals and goals. At this point, I'm 31 years old and experiencing burnout so badly that my psychiatrist thinks I actually have undiagnosed autism, so I'm on a waitlist for testing, while the symptoms have already become fairly disabling from the toll of pushing myself for 31 years. Elon Musk, who also exhibits obvious signs of autism, some of which correlate to Adam's concept of an original, never had to deal with poverty or an abusive mother with schizophrenia or any of the other numerous challenges in my life that I'm not going to waste space listing. Elon Musk is a rich man, and I'm a poor woman, who has experience with being disliked by the financially secure men above me. My own resilience leads me to the hope that I can get back in the game and do something satisfying in the future. 31 isn't too old to have some measure of success. However, the fact that I'm currently disabled by autism symptoms after I've fought my whole life for improving my situation makes me really pissed off at the roles repeated trauma and privilege do play in this, and I think that it's morally necessary to spread that information to the Elon Musks of the world. Edit: I guess his focus is on analyzing the successes, so it makes sense that Adam wouldn't focus as much on the circumstances of "failures". It can just be frustrating to see things on the other side, knowing a large percentage of people will blame people like me for my own failure, because people without nuance believe that I either don't possess many of these qualities or that I have some innate flaw or made poor choices, and those things have led to my failure, making it entirely my own responsibility rather than a failure of larger society.

[@annmarieknapp]

Would like to know more about "only children" as an only child. A professor and a writer. I wrote my first book in 6 months, but have been writing my second novel over 14 years. A combination of trying to write a sequel and standalone book that does have significantly better writing, but because of several personal losses (my mother's death, a direct hit by Cat 5 hurricane, and trauma at work), has meant disruptions to the creative progress and a nasty case of writer's block has made it feel like a Herculean task. I am going to finish this book because it drives me nuts leaving something so important to me uncompleted, but the anxiety, fear of failure, and self doubt have to go. Nothing is perfect and I have to give myself grace to finish the novel.

I love how open you are about your experiences with diving and the kind of fear you’ve faced. Hearing about this from my hero gives me courage to have a bit more faith in myself to go outside of my comfort zone and try the things I’ve always said I wanted to do. thanks for another great interview Steven!!

[@TheLifeandTimesofCatyPurry]

Great guest, a pleasure to listen to him. Clear, Funny, positive, knowledgeable, well spoken - sets the standard for other speakers and you can see this in the cute spontaneous interactions as well

[@StephaniRoberts]

100% true that most leaders are surrounded by “yes” people who never challenge them. I Love that Adam points this out and encourages challenge networks. Brilliant!! Fantastic interview!! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@tinabrand183]

Another possible theory regarding birth order could be that younger children experience more authority with older siblings and parents and look to "rebel" a bit more. Fantastic talk!

[@Szhusma]

As the oldest sibling, my experience is also that I have grown up to be the most responsible of my siblings. I think a big part of the reason comes from me as the oldest having to take responsibility if something happens when I was together with any of my siblings. So even though I might not necessarily be the reason something goes wrong, because I am the oldest, I was the one who "should have known better". Was basically how it worked. So you start to think about managing risk for other people while growing up, because you know you will be at the line of fire by the end of the day.

[@makeadifference4all]

Three important takeaways I often forget to live by: 1. Use skill power, not willpower: My gloss on this is that deferring gratification is more about developing skills to make doing the right things easier. For instance, engineer your environment to (a) add friction to starting time-wasting activities and (b) minimize distractions. 2. Know how good is good enough for the task at hand. Your time is limited and must be allocated across different projects. Where will additional effort or quality yield the highest long-term ROI? A perfectionist mindset is often a poor investment of time and effort. 3. Everyone has different life experiences and something to teach you if you're prepared to listen and learn.

I'm listening to this and I'm 21:20 mins into it, and can relate to ALL of it. From procrastination to using Google and questioning the status quo. Had to stop to write this so I can focus on the remainder of the talk.

[@apriljodoin9643]

I have never considered mulling over a problem as procrastination. In the sewing community, when we come to a point where we are stuck or the project isn’t come out the way we envisioned, we put the project in a corner somewhere and come back to it at some point in the future, often reimagined.

[@vickywitton1008]

💯

[@curiousone6129]

Dreams are a huge help to me. I solve problems and conceive new ideas while I sleep. I find it saves time because I'm working and sleeping at the same time. The saved time gets used to implement ideas or to move ahead past where I was stuck.

[@curiousone6129]

I think risk taking can also be the result of being inexperienced and or younger, resulting in a kind of naive risk taking where you are unaware of the actual magnitude of the actual risk. Not knowing what you don't know. Risk taking can also be a result of desperation. Not just being desperate, but also having the kind of temperament that is good at innovating and "thinking outside the box", by people who naturally have a non conventional way of looking at a problem. A solution may seem to be riskier to others. because it's not familiar and not the conventional way of doing the thing. Wow, I followed you right down that rabbit hole. Thanks for the fun!

[@plasmatronicx235]

Shouldn't have used an inaccurate statement about Ronaldo's game. One of the things the athlete is lauded for is how he raises the level of every team he has played at. Entire teams player at a higher level collectively when he joins them. This is well documented. You can be a focal point for the attack of a team and simultaneously elevate each and every attribute of the entire team when you are the type of athlete that he is.

[@mh60648]

Video games, like most things we use, have different effects depending on how we use them. I don’t know which research he is referring to, but not being able to stop playing is the opposite of discipline, for example. And that I have seen a lot of when it comes to video game use. I have even seen it go as far as kids (and grownups) becoming antisocial because their main focus was video games. Another thing is that skills learned within a virtual environment don’t necessarily translate to real life. And then there is the specific motivation that drives kids wanting to play video games because it provokes a chemical drive and reward cycle that is not easily found in real life, and that is considered dangerous because it is addictive. I therefore sincerely doubt that the benefits outway the bad sides.

[@Al_Does_Stuff]

Games have always had a dopamine cycle that has potential dangers. One counter argument is kids learning destructive real world behaviours to derive dopamine in similar fashion (one particularly stupid way for slightly older kids in my area was jumping off bridges). There is a stronger argument than ever against videogames as many of the mainstream games have been optimised to provide unhealthy reward loops with less difficulty. This on top of predatory gambling mechanics can really damage brains at a young age.

[@vusanichirwa1348]

Ronaldo’s style of play may invite debate, it’s undeniable that his presence elevates the performance of those around him and contributes to the overall success of his team. In the end, the true measure of his teamwork lies not only in statistics but also in the tangible impact he has on his teammates and the team’s achievements!

[@lorrie000]

According to the stats on this show, every team he's joined has gone downhill. Just saying. I have no idea who the guy is.

[@chrisgault87]

Stats say no. That’s not opinion it’s the truth

[@patriciamartins4185]

it's such bullshit@@lorrie000

[@patriciamartins4185]

stats to do not say that about Ronaldo in particular.... do your research@@chrisgault87 . Every team he has been in has gotten better and won more trophies.... except when ten hag was there. that guy was the problem. look at his team now

[@mattharper4223]

The thing with Ronaldo is that he played in one of the greatest teams of all time at Real Madrid where he won everything multiple times. Going to Juventus and and Manchester United (which are World famous clubs and have had past success) is a downgrade not only in skill but in mentality. The guy is a born winner and is the most competitive person around and expects his team to deliver for him( because he scores the goals) He can become easily frustrated when things don’t go his way which I guess can cause tension within a team setting. Side note: CR7 and LM10 play in different positions and have different styles, let’s just appreciate that we had this time to enjoy the 2 best players around at the same time.

[@billwa-b2o]

"A true leader elevates..." Well, that's a first hearing that outside my head from someone else. I got a Switch on a projector screen and two controllers.

They like to stiffle musicians, and I end up playing Godsmack only. Playing Godsmack with a classical twist on the piano - fun! Not a quiet way to rid the room of Narcissists, but it works.

I know he teaches this stuff and writes books about it, which brings that fluency and depth of understanding that is beguiling. He is a true geek (a total compliment), a fellow introvert (yay) and someone who has and is making a significant contribution to our understanding of the human condition. And b) the annoying, yet also beguiling verbal reasoning skills of Stephen. I am not sure I have seen anyone truly listen so deeply and then come back with a counter comment so readily. Thanks both. It's slightly annoying to have given 1 hour and 46 minutes of heartbeats to this, but I'm so glad I did...

I was the third born of three sons in the family. All that they said is true. BUT I believe that parents are obsessed with being the PERFECT parent and doing everything they could to focus on this kid. They wanted a second child, but had a difficult time getting and staying pregnant - so that kid was born 10 years after the first. BUT then - three years after the success of the second you hear the words - "What do you mean I'm pregnant ? ! ? !" The first two did scouts, swimming lessons, etc. The surprise baby had none of that. I don't feel cheated or not loved, but I had to forage for myself and make anything I had on my own. I don't thing they didn't want me, but quite frankly - I think after putting all that energy into the first two - they were exhausted and just over it by the time it came to be my turn. The oldest had a moderately successful life. The middle was a disaster that literally has always lived in a trailer part. And I've traveled the world, own two posh homes and owned a very successful business most of my adult life.

It is only logical that a player like Ronaldo would have such an effect on a team, especially post 2017, because he assumed the role of strict poacher. A poacher in any team is expected to be demanding of the ball, and selfish with finishing. That's the whole point. It is important to note that this observation should be restricted to his plays post 2017 RM only. Additionally, this has been a problem with other stars like MJ or Kobe in Basketball. Even Messi for that matter has a net negative impact on the defensive side of the team. But you don't play Messi because he can defend, or Ronaldo for he can play second balls. Their movements and timings, rising to the occasion, handling pressure, leading from the front, and the unbridled magical footballing ability is what makes these players indispensable. That is why teams are often created around these players. Barca around Messi and RM around Cristiano. No team without such a balance would win CL. PSG and Juve clearly failed to create such a balance. This is by no means a criticism of Ronaldo.

[@TheRealDarth_Vader]

Thank you theres a couple of toxic guys in the comments who cant wait to jump on the hate bandwagon

[@icykaos6370]

Yea idk why a guy that clearly doesn’t watch football uses a player as an example based on pointless stats from tabloids

Fascinating.. my son (take it from my previous comment) got hooked on the games and we couldn’t do anything to take him away from gaming.. I wanted him to go outside in the nature more and play with other kids but he get’s depressed and frustrated how we handled him that way. But thru all that.. he excelled in school.. first honors and sums cum laude in college. And till to this day, he is competing in games all over the place. And I also know someone who is older than my son and had this Nintendo in his hands every time we see his family.. then now, he makes his money from technologies and got his own website and up and running.. traveling the world and get to taste the lavish lifestyle of a millionaire.. 😊

Great to hear the difference between Self Promotion vs. Idea Promotion 💡

Another great show. Thank you

Google for email or browser is a hard no for some people, and it isn’t because we aren’t creative. Depends on what people believe about digital narrative and manipulation of the public thoughtform. Other than that - super edifying to listen. Grateful. Cheers!

Yeah it's hard to find a more simplified analysis I hope to hear better in the rest of the vid. It's like saying people who go more to the restaurant have more culinary taste. What about finances?
