In the third part of my epic conversation with Adam Robinson, we discuss why no one is immune to the stupid zone. Even the most careful, intelligent and cautious people and even virtuosos, can make mistakes that from the outside looking in seem incredibly stupid.
It’s important for us to become aware of the fact that we’re all prone to the stupid zone, and that there are conditions under which we can end up in a zone where we could make a similar mistake.
We also discussed;
- The lesson YoYo Ma teaches us about the stupid zone
- What the Great Game is and how can we play it
- How to create more fun and delight in the world
