About this episode
David Bodanis is an author who joins me on the podcast to discuss the notion of fairness and why being fair is an art. It's a subject that David has explored at length in his book The Art of Fairness and in this conversation we discuss:
- Why nice guys finish last.
- Why it's unfortunate that being a 'slimy jerk' can actually get you far in life.
- What you get in return when you encourage and enable the people around you.
- Why power is so seductive but can easily slip into arrogance.
- The importance of listening without ego.
- Why generosity shouldn't be confused with niceness.
- The lessons we learned from Faust and Wall Street.
- Why, if we assume the world is fair, we'll be disappointed.
- Why being fair to yourself first is the way to spread fairness and much more...
