#229: I was just born that way.

I was reading “The Happiness Advantage” by Shawn Achor and came across this gem:

It can be so easy to hold tight to these beliefs AND use them as excuses so that we don't have to learn, change, or grow.  But here's the spoiler alert: WE CAN.

Check out this week's podcast and hear more on this topic, including some great studies shared by the author that make the idea of “just being born that way” quite disputable.
