Big Brains

Why We Get Stuck—And How to Finally Move Forward


Listen Later

Hello listeners…we're re-releasing one of our favorite Big Brains episodes—an incredibly insightful conversation with psychologist Adam Alter. If you've ever felt stuck in your life or career, this episode offers practical strategies and surprising science to help you move forward.

From why your best ideas might come after you feel like giving up, to what Netflix can teach us about breaking through inertia, this episode is packed with revelations.

We’ll be back with brand-new episodes starting in August—also, check out our new YouTube page where you can now watch video versions of Big Brains.
