Sunstein - The Surprising Truth About Fame: It\u2019s Not What You Think | STM Podcast #242","description":"On episode 242, we welcome Cass Sunstein to discuss the foundations of fame, the roles of information cascades and reputation cascades in fostering one\u2019s success, the rise of Obama as a cascade, whether talent is enough for sustainable success, how group polarization influences our perceptions, network effects and our dependence on others, the significance of luck, why talent doesn\u2019t always see the light of day, and the importance of cultivating a sense of pride and fun in our pursuits rather than pursuing fame. Cass R. Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School. From 2009 to 2012, he was Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Since that time, he has served in the US government in several different roles. Adviser to many nations and international organizations, he is the author of Nudge (with Richard H. Thaler), Noise (with Daniel Kahneman and Olivier Sibony), The World According to Star Wars, and Wiser (with Reid Hastie). We will be discussing his book, How to Become Famous: Lost Einsteins, Forgotten Superstars, and How the Beatles Came to Be.&amp;nbsp; | Cass R.
