Ted Talk Discussion: The surprising habits of original thinkers

How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies "originals": thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals — including embracing failure. "The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most," Grant says. "You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones."

Let's discuss this 15 min YouTube video:

-----------------------------------
To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events:

• Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question)
• Listen to understand, not to respond.
• Be open-minded and value differences.

note:

• This book club will always be free and will never accept fundraising, sponsorships, or advertising. The only request is that, because we will usually meet at a local coffee shop, it will be great if participants can order some drinks or meal items during events.
