The Michael Shermer Show # 425
We push ourselves toward the highest-paying, most prestigious jobs, seeking promotions and public recognition. As Adam Gopnik points out, the result is not so much a rat race as a rat maze, with no way out. Except one: to choose accomplishment over achievement.
Achievement is the completion of the task imposed from outside.
Accomplishment, by contrast, is the end point of an engulfing activity one engages in for its own sake.
Shermer and Gopnik discuss:
• mastering the secrets of stage magic (Gopnik's son worked with David Blaine and Jamy Ian Swiss)
• the bullet catch
• family and mentors
• the concept of the 10,000-hour rule vs. natural talent
• Adam's new book All That Happiness Is, which offers timeless wisdom against the grain.
Adam Gopnik has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1986. He is the author of numerous best-selling books, including Paris to the Moon and The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery.

Super interesting! I've been a guitar player for 40+ years and it's true! All you need to do is become obsessed and play the guitar every waking hour forever. This approach works really well.

Much more exciting and deeper than I expected from a journalist, a magazine writer. Gopnik has a lot to say on many things, on the horizontal plane, as he says. And most of the time its of great interest and value.

At 54:30, Michael accurately points out the problem of merit, luck. There is no causa sui anywhere in the loop. Everything that people do is explained by something external. They do things because of this and that, genetic factors and their history, which shape their character. Therefore blame and praise are illogical. There is no "an enormous part of what people do is luck." No, it's all luck. There is no homunculus anywhere that does things non-causally, for no reason.

I do appreciate what you are doing. Is there a way to publish your session in audio form as well, so people can listen to them while driving or waiting somewhere.

Before I see this video, I’d just like to quote Jerry Seinfeld: I had a bit about the guy that would catch bullets in his teeth. And my thing was: What job did he have that would provoke someone to go, “You know, to tell you the truth, I’d rather catch bullets in my teeth than do this.” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f8EhQXqoc8I.htmlsi=sBIYcLssEf5wIup4&t=18m40s
