The Paradox of Genius: How To Be A Remarkably Unbalanced Individual

Let's talk about Power Moves - Lethal Combinations of traits that can unlock your full potential Most of us have strengths and with each strength is a corresponding weakness. Says who? History has shown time and time again that embodying seemingly contradictory traits can result in outsized success. We look at the weaknesses we accept and how to overcome the fixed mindset, break out of our natural blockers, and become a spikey, unbalanced individual with additive strengths. Balancing lessons from history and psychology we go on a tour of the most common and powerful opposing strengths that can be turned into an unstoppable combination when harnessed correctly.
