Ep. 71: The Fox and the Hedgehog

À propos de cet épisode

<p>The Greek poet Archilochus is known for the phrase, &quot;The fox knows many things; the hedgehog one big thing.&quot; This week, we'll use this metaphor as a way to understand two different cognitive styles. The first is that of a tactician who is comfortable with nuance and contradiction (the fox), the second is that of a big thinker, motivated by one organizing idea (the hedgehog). We'll explore this idea through the story of a pioneering surgeon whose hedgehog tendencies led him to great triumphs, and a heartbreaking tragedy.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
