David Bodanis is an author who joins me on the podcast to discuss the notion of fairness and why being fair is an art. It's a subject that David has explored at length in his book The Art of Fairness and in this conversation we discuss:Why nice guys finish last.Why it's unfortunate that being a 'slimy jerk' can actually get you far in life.What you get in return when you encourage and enable the people around you.Why power is so seductive but can easily slip into arrogance.The importance of listening without ego.Why generosity shouldn't be confused with niceness.The lessons we learned from Faust and Wall Street.Why, if we assume the world is fair, we'll be disappointed.Why being fair to yourself first is the way to spread fairness and much more...To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.
