What You'll Learn:
What does constructing a rocket have in common with launching one of the most successful streaming services of all time? Unconventional thinking. From venturing into uncharted territory in entrepreneurial “moonshots” to seeking out novice knowledge for professional insights, creation and innovation in all sectors of science, business, and life require exceptionally counterintuitive thinking. This kind of thinking just so happens to be the very thought process that underpins ingenious developments in rocket science, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it in your everyday life, too. Law professor and rocket scientist Ozan Varol discusses helpful strategies that will motivate you to thrive in the chaos of the unknown, replace limitations with creativity, rebuild your questions, and fail your way to success.
