Does working hard really make you a good person? | Azim Shariff (re-release)

from TED Talks Daily

Around the world, people who work hard are often seen as morally good -- even if they produce little to no results. Social psychologist Azim Shariff analyzes the roots of this belief and suggests a shift towards a more meaningful way to think about effort, rather than admiring work for work's sake.(This episode originally aired in 2023.)
