SUMMARY:David Epstein at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes David Epstein—author of the New York Times bestsellers Range and The Sports Gene—for a discussion of his new book\, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better. He will be joined in conversation with Robert Waldinger—Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development\, one of the longest-running studies of adult life ever done. \nAbout Inside the Box\nHow do we do more with less?\nLimits are the key to stimulating creativity\, innovation\, and collaboration. \nWe live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do\, who to be\, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing\, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact\, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. \nDavid Epstein argues that all of us—individuals\, businesses\, institutions\, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints\, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial\, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. \nOriginal\, galvanizing\, and deeply researched\, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves\, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs\, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative\, productive\, and satisfied version of yourself.
