Malcolm Gladwell: Be A Big Fish in a Little Pond | David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell Chapter Summary | Chapter Chop | #91

Sometimes by choosing prestige we are setting ourselves up to fail. Today we’ll be looking at and summarizing one of the chapters from David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell titled: Caroline Sacks. It’s a story that details the dangers of "The Big Pond" and draws on psychology to teach us valuable lessons in regard to choices in education and career. How, if undertaken incorrectly, these decisions can remove the spark that got us to them in the first place. Stick around if you want to learn all about the big-fish little pond effect, and examine what history and psychological insight tell us about it, and how we should approach it.  If you want to learn how to make better decisions, how to choose your academic path, or how to make good choices in life, this is the episode for you!
