Hey everyone. Want to learn how you can become more original? Too bad. That was my idea. Today's book is

Originals by Adam Grant about how to be more original and creative in your work. I'm Kellynerskin. I'm a

And specifically, they looked at base stealing, which in baseball is a very risky move because it's against the rules to do something interesting.

And they found that despite the risk of base stealing, younger brothers were 10 times more likely to steal bases.

When you step back, you see this broad pattern a lot where in general, oldest siblings are more conformist, youngest siblings are more risk-seeking. And that's
