How Great Innovators Think & Turning Anger Into Strength

from Something You Should Know · host Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media

Try formulating an answer to a difficult question while looking someone in the eye. It is almost impossible. You must look away. Why is it so hard to concentrate while looking at someone? This episode starts with an explanation of that. http://www.livescience.com/7155-helps-concentration.html To be labeled as a great innovator is an honor. Innovators are held in high esteem. But what is it that makes them so special? What goes on in their heads that allows them to create innovative ideas? Here to delve deep into the minds of some of our greatest innovators is David Galenson. He is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and author of the book Innovators (https://amzn.to/40ySzVN) Have you ever thought about where your anger comes from? When you get angry do you get aggressive, or do you use your anger to resolve the problem? If we let it get the best of us, anger can cause us to say or do things we regret, damage relationships or worse. There is a better way to deal with anger according to my guest, Sam Parker. He is a journalist who has written for publications including the Guardian, Telegraph, Observer and GQ magazine and he is author of a book called Good Anger: How Rethinking Rage Can Change Our Lives (https://amzn.to/4m3g4OS). In determining your premium, auto insurance companies factor in your address. But why should you pay more (or less) depending on where you live? Shouldn’t it be about how well and how much you drive?
