“Harvard lecturer Shawn Achor is funny, self-depreciating, and devastating to my notions of what his field is all about. He’s got research that makes the “genes + environment + potential for success” model look like an idea only Flat Earthers could harbour. Even better, he’s got tips for how we can improve our brains. By the time he starts talking about “activation energy” and tells us we can prime our brains for enhanced achievement by doing one simple activity every day, I’m butter to his knife.” —Boston Globe
