In this is tiny leaps,

I sit down with Alina Tugend to talk about making mistakes.

Get excited because this is tiny leaps.

Big change. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leeps, big changes where I share simple strategies you can use to get more out of your life.

My name is Greg Klunis and in this episode I'm sitting down with Elina Tuggen.

She is the author of a book called Better By Mistake,

The Unexpected Benefits of Being Wrong. And she's also a longtime journalist who has worked in

Southern California, London, Washington, D.C.

Rhode Island and New York. From 2005 to 2015, she wrote the award-winning

bi-weekly shortcuts column for the New York Times Business Section.

Her work has appeared in numerous publications including The Times, The Atlantic,

O, the Oprah magazine, Family Circle, and Inc Inc magazine and in 2011 Riverhead

published her first book better by mistake which is what we're going to be

discussing today in today's conversation and in the next episode which will be part two of this conversation

we are diving into the lessons learned in her first book better by mistake. We're going to be looking at how mistakes can actually help us,

how they move us forward.

We're also going to be looking at how to mitigate

the effects of mistakes, especially in situations where things are life and death, let's say, like surgery or as a pilot.

So this is a super good conversation on the topic of mistakes. It's one I was very excited to have because I read her book and found it so fascinating

so I know you're going to get a ton of value out of it. Now be sure to listen to both this episode

and part two, which will be releasing next so

definitely come back for that as well so without further delay let's get into my conversation with Elina Tugend, the author of Better By Mistake, the unexpected benefits of being wrong.
