Adam Grant: 10 CRAZY Stats About Why Only 2% of the People Becomes Successful! 

That banner image at the top of your page here is highly misleading. It implies this is the place to come to get celebrity interviews. Anyone who's still subscribed now knows that this is now the place to come for shock docs telling you unless you change everything in your life you'll be dead in no time at all. Only 1 out of the last 20 videos here was anyone you'd vaguely call a celeb, and he's only a youtuber. UNSUBSCRIBED !!

Why is the unsubscribed number always stuck at 69%? 😏

What a great conversation and amazing insight. On a side note, GGMU 🙏

I’m subscribed but why do you think that less than 70% subscribe? The figure has not changed since I subscribed a few months ago !

Im looking for the poem that a guest (if it’s not Adam)?shared about “isn’t doing it"… ie: making a list is not doing it…announcing you’re going to do it is not doing it…Was it Adam or a different guest?

😂 Hahaa... No.. I think humans study what already exists to unpack as much data?!😊🙏🏼

Yes! I'm sharing it with my sisters too 😂

Yeah that’s me 😂

I sent it to my siblings even before I watched 😂

Heck yeah !! 😂😂😂

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time

I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.

People should remember: poverty is not an accident, a coincidence or an inevitability. It is something which is manufactured by the ruling class.

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too

Obviously these investment requires much cash and concentration to start?

What if nobody believes in you hahah

The saying, 'you get what you ask for' works. He askes for the subscribers, and they listen and deliver.

Nice robot comment. 5 mil and only 250k views.

@@indochinaconnex4308 I hope you heal from whatever hurt you. There’s no need to be nasty. The video was released 12 days ago and has 250K views which is incredible because it will continue to reach audiences as the days and months go by. Thanks for the engagement, you’re helping the channel 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I feel the same exact way as an older sibling 😅

As the youngest sibling I'm the one in this role

I finally feel seen. Damn. Too many mistakes but I’ve lived though😂😂 time to get serious

​​@@123shotassame, the eldest in mine follows others blindly, doesn't question... often stuck with quite bizarre way of thinking without backed rationales

Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Break tasks into smaller steps and set specific deadlines for each. Plain and simple but oh so effective. I have set a reminder on my phone to remind me this every day . Thank you☺

Do explain! ☺️

Would love to hear more about that process!

💯

Wow! How long ago was that?

This is basic benefits you’d get from high level networking. I’m glad you guys can benefit from it. See you in the other side of the tax bracket.🤝

Wow!! Really happy this conversation resonated with you. Thank you for sharing! Team DOAC 🙏

​@TheDiaryOfACEO Adam did briefly mention survivorship bias a bit before talking about how surviving uncomfortable positions increases tolerance to discomfort. I wish he'd gone more into the way that the trauma for some does lead to heightened anxiety for risk taking because when a person lacks privilege they often can not afford risk. Adam only very briefly mentions the marshmallow study, and it seems important to expand more on aspects of privilege in relation to repeated trauma. When you've experienced the bad things over and over, you might just try to cope by attempting to not end up back there, rather than pursuing your full potential, or you might lack the energy for pursuit. That seems like it could indicate some difference between trauma or even capital T Trauma, versus repeated capital T Trauma, which can cause changes in the brain and body that are permanent or more difficult to overcome. There's probably an unknown bell curve formula of amount of trauma combined with privilege that a person is able to have before the effects are more negative than positive. I feel both motivated and dejected by this talk, because I recognize in myself the natural capacity for many of the qualities Adam points to in originals, but I started in poverty, never got out of poverty, and I've lost more than one job for too openly questioning authority because something they suggested didn't even make sense by their own purported morals and goals. At this point, I'm 31 years old and experiencing burnout so badly that my psychiatrist thinks I actually have undiagnosed autism, so I'm on a waitlist for testing, while the symptoms have already become fairly disabling from the toll of pushing myself for 31 years. Elon Musk, who also exhibits obvious signs of autism, some of which correlate to Adam's concept of an original, never had to deal with poverty or an abusive mother with schizophrenia or any of the other numerous challenges in my life that I'm not going to waste space listing. Elon Musk is a rich man, and I'm a poor woman, who has experience with being disliked by the financially secure men above me. My own resilience leads me to the hope that I can get back in the game and do something satisfying in the future. 31 isn't too old to have some measure of success. However, the fact that I'm currently disabled by autism symptoms after I've fought my whole life for improving my situation makes me really pissed off at the roles repeated trauma and privilege do play in this, and I think that it's morally necessary to spread that information to the Elon Musks of the world. Edit: I guess his focus is on analyzing the successes, so it makes sense that Adam wouldn't focus as much on the circumstances of "failures". It can just be frustrating to see things on the other side, knowing a large percentage of people will blame people like me for my own failure, because people without nuance believe that I either don't possess many of these qualities or that I have some innate flaw or made poor choices, and those things have led to my failure, making it entirely my own responsibility rather than a failure of larger society.

The sibling competition spiral 😂 love my siblings so much

i can hear it with the volume low.

Mines is the number of lives you support and help. ❤ Thanks for sharing

According to the stats on this show, every team he's joined has gone downhill. Just saying. I have no idea who the guy is.

Stats say no. That’s not opinion it’s the truth

it's such bullshit@@lorrie000

stats to do not say that about Ronaldo in particular.... do your research@@chrisgault87 . Every team he has been in has gotten better and won more trophies.... except when ten hag was there. that guy was the problem. look at his team now

The thing with Ronaldo is that he played in one of the greatest teams of all time at Real Madrid where he won everything multiple times. Going to Juventus and and Manchester United (which are World famous clubs and have had past success) is a downgrade not only in skill but in mentality. The guy is a born winner and is the most competitive person around and expects his team to deliver for him( because he scores the goals) He can become easily frustrated when things don’t go his way which I guess can cause tension within a team setting. Side note: CR7 and LM10 play in different positions and have different styles, let’s just appreciate that we had this time to enjoy the 2 best players around at the same time.

I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Claudia Vecchi Nese .

😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!

The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures.

* I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

Gosh, I am the least successful of my 3 siblings and I can only hope they love me. I’ve never pulled on them, at least. I always doubt it though. 😢

I guarantee this guest knows nothing about football

Thank you theres a couple of toxic guys in the comments who cant wait to jump on the hate bandwagon

Yea idk why a guy that clearly doesn’t watch football uses a player as an example based on pointless stats from tabloids

Hope you loved the episode! 🙏🙏
