The Surprising Habits of Original Thinkers | Adam Grant | TED
In this talk, Adam Grantshares insights from studying “originals,” or nonconformists who drive creativity and change by championing new ideas. Using the example of passing on an investment in Warby Parker, the speaker explains how procrastination, doubt, and having many bad ideas are often key traits of successful originals. These individuals are not fearless or free from doubt, but they manage these emotions differently, using them as motivation to refine ideas and take risks. Grant encourages embracing procrastination and the fear of failing to try, as well as generating a high volume of ideas, as these practices can lead to greater creativity and innovation. The talk concludes by emphasizing that while being original is challenging, it is essential for making a positive impact on the world.
