After the time needed for sleep, daily exercise, friends, and family, Dr. Duckworth explains, “what’s left is more than 40 hours.” Informed by her research and her own happiness, she tries to discourage her students from settling for a 9 to 5 life: “There’s so many people that exemplify a life of dedication, and hard work, and of happiness, and humor, and friends, and family, that I think we should tell young people, ‘Look, don't assume that's not possible.’”\nIn this episode, Angela and Joubin discuss being punctual, Danny Kahneman, AP Calculus, moving the finish line, teaching grit to children, Arthur Ashe, Diana Nyad, passion and sacrifice, hiring gritty people, “change your situation,” Marc Leder and Rodger Krouse, Invictus, ChatGPT, neural autopilot, and Steve Jobs.\nIn this episode, we cover:\n“I have a thing with time” (01:36)\nBeing the GOAT (06:37)\nMr. Yom (09:27)\nChef Marc Vetri (14:15)\nThe Devil Wears Prada (16:03)\nTalking about grit (18:12)\nSatisfaction, loneliness, and happiness (20:24)\nSuccess as a journey (28:23)\nThe cost of hard work (32:52)\nAngela’s 70-hour work week (36:31)\nCharisma and loving what you do (40:55)\nWhy high achievers have supportive partners (47:07)\nThe next book (55:25)\nPick the right market (57:45)\nTherapy questions (59:53)\nThe Incredible Hulk vs. James Bond (01:02:45)\nAutomating decisions (01:05:43)\nWhat “grit” means to Angela (01:09:39)\n\nLinks:\nConnect with AngelaTwitter\nLinkedIn\nAdditional reading:Redefining Success: Adopt the Journey Mindset to Move Forward\nBuy Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance\nConnect with JoubinTwitter\nLinkedIn\nEmail:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jCea5f44KBONhOsyLyht9nXUrj2YBNfA6fc-kgyfWTM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/Lzk3NzAvMTY2Nzg2/MjQyOC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
