131. The Case Against Competition -- Alfie Kohn
Episode 131
Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
I'm joined by Alfie Kohn to discuss No Contest: The Case Against Competition, his 1986 book about how competition hurts rather than helps people do their best. We cover the problem with grades, the reason why excellence and competition are opposed, and whats wrong with rewards and what makes awards even worse.
