Event Description: In Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better, David Epstein argues that while modern life offers endless choices, too much freedom can be overwhelming and even limiting. Instead, he shows how constraints—whether external or self-imposed—can spark creativity, focus, and innovation. Drawing on research and real-world examples, Epstein demonstrates that setting the right boundaries can lead to greater productivity, breakthroughs, and personal satisfaction.
