The Paradox of Genius: How To Be A Remarkably Unbalanced Individual
Manage episode 440421379 series 2398788
Let's talk about Power Moves - Lethal Combinations of traits that can unlock your full potential
Most of us have strengths and with each strength is a corresponding weakness.
Says who?
History has shown time and time again that embodying seemingly contradictory traits can result in outsized success.
We look at the weaknesses we accept and how to overcome the fixed mindset, break out of our natural blockers, and become a spikey, unbalanced individual with additive strengths.
Balancing lessons from history and psychology we go on a tour of the most common and powerful opposing strengths that can be turned into an unstoppable combination when harnessed correctly. We also explore:
- How to identify your ideal strength combination
- Tools to work on weaknesses from different angles
- How neurodiversity and personality disorders can be harnessed as strengths
- Embracing instead of fighting your weaknesses
