Can you elaborate on this?

Currently I am reading the book Grit by Angela Duckworth. The author cites studies of grit and has done much research on the subject. Are you suggesting that that research does not replicate?

I'm not sure how HN feels about posting links; but you can google: grit "replication crisis"

It's not just "grit" - it's the entire field of "TED-Talk-headlining applied psychology [allegedly] based in research."

Absolutely infuriating.

I see, I know what you are getting at here. I stay away from TED talks specifically because I know those lack substance.

Thanks for the guidance, I will read more about this.

Lacking substance is one thing.

I'm talking about cynically spreading misinformation for personal financial gain - that's next level <insert favorite cussword here>.

It turns out "Pop Psychology" is more "Pop" than "Psychology".
