Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights

I dove into work showing that highly credentialed experts can become so narrow-minded that they actually get worse with experience, even while becoming more confident—a dangerous combination.

That is, the most effective learning looks inefficient; it looks like falling behind.
What is an A Player? For one thing, he or she is not just a superstar. Think of an A Player as the right superstar, a talented person who can do the job you need done, while fitting in with the culture of your company.

Au moment où nous achetons une grosse voiture polluante ou un téléphone portable qui l’est tout autant, nous ne nous demandons pas si, dans vingt, trente ou quarante ans, cela se traduira par de moins bonnes conditions de vie pour les générations futures. La seule chose que nous retenons, c’est que cela fait du bien. Nous vivons une bouffée d’euphorie et notre cerveau se reconfigure pour nous faire sentir ce que c’est que d’être plus haut que les autres.
