I loved the cobra effect part and now I am very clear that not all well-intended actions can make a positive difference if they are not well thought through. Great talk

I always used to think that shrewdness is bad characteristic but after watching this TED talk, my idea transformed completely!!!!! 🤔

What he says is certainly valuable and speaks to an understanding of psychology and an understanding of people and the human condition. The ideas here, unlike many types of insights about such things, acknowledges and describes the very complex and complicated reality we all must deal with: this talk obliterates naïveté and an oversimplified rose-colored perspective.

Thanks for the talk sir. There is an excellent takeaway from this. Most of us just have the dove in us. We badly need to bring the snake and fox in us if we want to survive. Looking forward for more such videos from you.

“The holiest of men have been the shrewdest, for their friends if not for themselves” takes the stigma out of shrewdness. I have been naive for long-I will be shrewd now. 🙂
