How do our beliefs and opinions change so drastically from one period of time to another? David McRaney has uncovered and woven together the latest research across fields of psychology—research that reveals that even though it seems like real change takes generations to become visible, it can happen within a lifetime, within minutes. McRaney explores changes big and small, from gun control and marijuana legalization, to the changes we experience every day. He reveals new ways we can see and bring about change in our individual lives, at work, at home, and in our personal relationships.

Feeling stuck? You’re not alone. Almost everyone feels stuck in some way, unable to push past some kind of roadblock. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Bestselling author Adam Alter has spent the past two decades studying the forces that keep us stuck—and how we can free ourselves to thrive. He says that most of the barriers we face are subjective, which means we have everything we need to get unstuck and push through to success.

In this ground-breaking talk, Adam draws on his new book Anatomy of a Breakthrough to weave together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews to teach us how to get unstuck from whatever’s holding us back. He reveals the formula that he and other researchers have uncovered: called the “friction audit,” the process helps you figure out why you (or your organization) are stuck, then suggests a path to progress by overcoming the three kinds of frictions (head, heart, and habit), so you can find the breakthrough that’s just around the corner. Full of practical strategies that you can put into play on your own or as a team—like sacrificing in the short-term for long-term gains, or taking challenges as a signal that you’re moving beyond the easy wins—this talk is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovation and high achievement.
