David Robson is an award-winning science writer, and author of The Intelligence Trap: Revolutionise your thinking and make wiser decisions. He's also written an upcoming book, The Expectation Effect.

We had a fascinating conversation with David about both his career, and some of the mistakes smart people make that stop them finding the right work. We asked him questions like:

• What are the traps that stop us thinking creatively about what the right work is for us?
• How might focusing on promotion or traditional ideas of career development stop us finding work that fulfils us?
• Is ‘finding your passion’ a realistic route to success in work?
