  • How would you like to work at a podcast, young lady?

  • Is that the question?

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Steven Dubner, and you're listening to.

  • No stupid questions today on the show.

  • When it comes to decision making, is it better to maximize or satisfice, can.

  • I ask, is synonym for maximizer pain in the ass?

  • Also, what is the ideal interview question?

  • Oh, I noticed you've got a Phillies hat on.

  • Are you from Philadelphia?

  • And then all of a sudden, an hour's gone by and the interview's over.

  • Angela Duckworth, I have a question for you today.

  • Shoot.

  • I wanna know whether you are a maximizer or a satisficer and why.

  • And while you answer, I want you to explain maximizing and satisficing, where it comes from, what it means.

  • I am a maximizer.

  • I had a feeling.

  • Yeah, you knew me.

  • So that means that when it comes to my work, I am trying to do better and better and better.

  • That's what maximizers do.
