I'm Angela Duckworth.

I'm Stephen Dubner.

And you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, our first impressions or last impressions, more important.

And then the person is like, good email.

Also, where does wisdom come from?

Angela, the following question came from a listener.
