Thinking About Thinking with Brené Brown...

SIMON SINEK
About this episode

To become more self-aware, sometimes you need a friend. Two friends is even better.

Brené Brown and Adam Grant swing by the podcast for one of our trademark conversations with no plan. It turns into a deep dive about knowing our selves and how self-reflection is sometimes best done with others. What's a little metacognition between friends?

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
