49 分钟Hey, it's not necessarily a zero sum game.
It can be win, win.
And then someone came up with win, win, win.
At which point I started saying, okay, just how much winning can we all stand?
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Stephen Dubner, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
Do you have a scarcity mindset or an abundance mindset?
There's a lot to untangle here, Angela.
A listener named Matthew writes in to say, I remember reading about the terms scarcity mindset versus abundance mindset.
It seems like an interesting way of framing how people react differently.
However, it looks like those terms do not originate out of psychology research.
Has any work been done to verify these concepts?
So, Angela, let's start with where these terms did originate.
Yeah, let's talk about what I know first, but then you can tell me that you know something better and different.
I think of scarcity, and I immediately think of Sendal Mulanathan and Eldar Shafir.
These are two eminent, I guess you would call them, behavioral economists.
Do you think that's the right label for Sandel and Eldar?
I mean, if we're talking about what their PhDs are in.
I think Eldar is an economist, and I think Sendel is not.
