⏀The Psychology of Excellence – Becoming excellent is one thing, sustaining excellence is another thing entirely.

An interesting insight from Scott Galloway, NYU business professor is of choice curation. More choice is not better. People don’t want more choices (paradox of choice) but rather to be more confident in the choices they do make – or are made for them. Those who can curate these choices for us – from which songs and playlists to listen on Spotify to which TikTok videos go viral – will have outsized influence. It used to be people doing such things but increasingly the algorithms are. This is one of the reasons TikTok is summarily beating Netflix – we save time when TT chooses what videos we watch and their algorithm is much better and predicting if not determining our tastes.
