[Angela Duckworth @angeladuckw]

Most people understand the importance of asking for help in a life-or-death crisis.

But in our personal and professional lives, Americans are encouraged to pursue rugged individualism over interdependency.

[Angela Duckworth @angeladuckw]

We suffer from what cognitive psychologists call the illusion of self-sufficiency, overlooking how much we owe our skills to other people.

[Knowledge at Wharton @whartonknows]

In an exclusive exercept from her new book, Situated, @Wharton & @BehaviorChange's @AngelaDuckw explores the idea of “situational agency,” or taking charge of your circumstances and choosing the people, places and environments that bring out your best. https://t.co/07KF58dlYx
