In his book, Politics Is for Power, Eitan makes the case that millions of Americans are engaging in politics in ways that are emotionally satisfying but ultimately self-defeating.

So I would imagine that a lot of people listening to you would disagree with your assessment of them.

And as I say in the book, I live right near Fenway Park.

So there it is. What news do political junkies demand? Outrage and gossip. Why? Because it's alluring. What news do we avoid? Local news. Why? It's boring. What do we think of our partisan opponents? We hate them. Do we really hate them? No, but politics is more fun if we root for a team and spew anger at the other side.

It's easier to hate and dismiss the other side than to empathize and connect to them. When do we vote? When there's a spectacle. When do we click? When politics can be a frivolous distraction. When do we donate? When there's a cocktail party or a viral video.

In his book, Politics Is for Power, Eitan makes the case that millions of Americans are engaging in politics in ways that are emotionally satisfying, but ultimately self-defeating.

What feels right to him? It seemed to me that the way that people are doing politics is much more similar to a hobby than to what I think of as politics, which is acquiring power.

So they will learn a lot of facts and talk about those facts. They will participate in a kind of craft. Like they'll go online and share memes, have a discussion very similar to how sports fans listen to sports radio.

What news do political junkies demand? Outrage and gossip. Why? Because it's alluring. What news do we avoid? Local news. Why? It's boring.

When we come back, even as many political hobbyists expand their energies on the latest outrage on Twitter, Eitan Hirsch argues there are other people who are very serious about acquiring and wielding power.

He's a professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and he's the author of the new book, Originals, How Nonconformists Move the World.

I would say that I was totally wrong about what it takes to be original.

I think of original people as the nonconformists who drive creativity and change in the world.

They often procrastinate and that's how they incubate ideas.

They feel the same fears and doubts that the rest of us do. They just manage them differently. They hate taking risks and they have lots of bad ideas and that's how they get to the good ones.

He's the author of the new book, Originals, How Nonconformists Move the World.

In your book, you find that the writer and poet TS Eliot, Google's co-founder Larry Page, and the filmmaker all have something in common.

I think that's one of the hallmarks of being original, is being flexible enough in your thinking to admit, you know, this was wrong or this was a bad idea.

In the book you talk about the idea that birth order whether you have older siblings or younger siblings might play a role in your willingness to take chances.

If you study some of the America's most original architects and compare them with technically skilled but less creative peers. One of the things that happened in the families of the creative architects was their parents focused more on values than rules.

Historian Annette Gordon-Reed won the Pulitzer Prize for her book The Hemingses of Monticello, which tells the story of the Hemings family and their lives as enslaved people on Thomas Jefferson's estate in Virginia.

But when I started writing The Hemingses of Monticello and working on that, and I realized how important family was,

Her 2008 book The Hemingses of Monticello won the Pulitzer Prize.

But when I started writing The Hemingses of Monticello and working on that and I realized how important family was or I began to think about how important family would have been to someone like that.

Predicting the future isn't about being unusually smart or especially knowledgeable. It's about understanding the pitfalls in the way we think and practicing better habits of mind.

I would say the most distinctive attribute of the superforecasters is their curiosity and their willingness to give the idea a try.

Because it doesn't matter how intelligent you are or how knowledgeable you are, if you believe that it's essentially impossible to get better at these kinds of tasks, you're never going to try and it's never going to happen.

So when they say events are 80% likely, those events happen about 80% of the time. When they say things are 90% likely, they happen about 90% of the time.

So again, think of forecasting as a skill that can be improved with practice. When you're making a prediction, start with the base rate, the outside in view. Beware of the risks of storytelling. Finally, amateurs make three kinds of predictions, yes, no, and maybe. Professionals have many gradations of maybe.

In his book, Superforecasting, the Art and Science of Prediction, Phil explores how we can learn from these people to become better forecasters ourselves.
