Why Smart People Stay Stuck (And How to Break Free)

from The Next Big Idea Daily · host Next Big Idea Club

You've probably been told to think bigger, try harder, or just believe in yourself — but what if the real thing keeping you stuck is a set of invisible limits you didn't even choose? Nir Eyal reveals the inherited beliefs that quietly cap our potential, while Tony Wagner makes the case that breaking free also means relearning how to go deep in a world designed to keep us skimming the surface.
