As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of the You Are Not So Smart podcast, a blog and podcast that investigates the subconscious functioning of our brains, the self-delusions we create without knowing, and one of the latest episodes is very interesting because it deals with how we learn to feel helpless the more we fail.

this applies to anything, not just tests, but also social situations etc. and it's tangential to situations like rejection and bullying for example. It's a very enlightening, and somewhat touching episode which I very much recommend. You may learn how to face something about yourself by listening to it.

An unexpected, but truly wonderful bit of wisdom. Thank you Tazio, this is excellent, I'll ponder this a while. I'm thrilled to see deep thought like this, in people I so admire.
