Episode 3717:

Nir Eyal and Charles Wang explore the surprising value of embracing the mindset of an amateur rather than striving for rigid expertise. By focusing on curiosity, experimentation, and playfulness, we stay adaptable, avoid burnout, and discover deeper joy in learning. This approach invites growth by valuing exploration over perfection.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/train-to-be-amateur-not-expert/

Quotes to ponder:

"An amateur is someone who does something because they love it."

"Experts often feel the need to defend their knowledge and authority, while amateurs are open to questioning and rethinking what they know."

"When we give ourselves permission to be amateurs, we free ourselves to learn without fear of failure."
