S2 Ep 95: The Accidental Trap of Saying "Just Try Your Best"


Listen Later

I had a truly surprising lightbulb moment this week in my conversation with Dr. Joshua Sparrow about why saying "just try your best" could actually be harmful. Join me again in conversation with Dr. Joshua Sparrow, child, adolescent, and general psychiatrist; associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School; and supervisor for outpatient psychiatry services at Children's Hospital Boston.
