42 分钟I can't believe you're doing this.
Aren't you gonna welcome me to the show?
Oh, I don't have to do that.
You're my wife.
Thank you so much for having me.
Oh, I'm so happy you're here.
Welcome to Rethinking.
Alison Sweet Grant.
It's my pleasure.
I really traveled 15ft from my office to yours to get here.
It's quite an effort.
Hey, everyone, it's Adam Grant.
Welcome back to Rethinking my podcast on the science of what makes us tick with the TED Audio Collective.
I'm an organizational psychologist,
and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking.
I have a special guest today, Alison Sweet Grant, my wife and the real writer in our household.
Alison's debut novel, I Am the Cage,
was inspired by her experience growing up with a limb discrepancy and the emotional impact of medical intervention.
To fix it, she delves into themes of identity, agency and control, shame and trust and betrayal.
It's easy to want to sugarcoat things, right?
