Heard something very interesting on Radiolab this morning that ties right in with one of my Key Conundrums. Which is...
(Talent = Success) < (Confidence = Success)
So the episode was about deception and what happens in the brain when people lie, etc. So they got to this part about self-deception, and they told the story of these two scientists who developed a test. They asked people extremely personal questions that [if one is being completely honest with oneself] should all be answered "yes". like, "have you ever doubted your sexual adequacy?" What they found was that people who answered, "no" the most were better at sports, better at business, happier, less depressed. It seems that lying to yourself is healthy. So grab those rose-colored glasses and go out there and kick some ass because YOU ARE GREAT!
