Speaker: Angela Duckworth, University of Pennsylvania

It is often said that you cannot control your circumstances, but, with effort, you can control how you react to them. In this Keynote presentation, Duckworth challenges this perspective.

While mustering willpower feels heroic, it is more strategic to shape the people, places, and things that surround you.
