You Think You Want Autonomy. You Don’t. | David Epstein

You Think You Want Autonomy. You Don’t. | David Epstein

You think you want more freedom, but too much of it can work against you. In this episode, Ryan talks with David Epstein about why constraints can actually make us better. They discuss how deadlines sharpen focus, why too much autonomy can become a trap, and why “freedom within a framework” may be more useful than total freedom.


David Epstein is the author of the #1 New York Times best seller Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. His third book, Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, is out now!
