What if constraints could actually make us more creative? This week, we use behavioral science to explore how limits on our time, resources, and choices can focus our attention, spark creativity, and help us make better decisions. With author David Epstein, we look at how creatives like Bach and Dr. Seuss used constraints to generate new ideas, and how identifying bottlenecks at work can help us focus on the problems that matter most. We’ll also share practical ways to embrace constraints, think differently, and get more done.Topics[[[[[[[[[[[©2026 Behavioral GroovesLinksAbout David EpsteinInside the Box: How Constraints Make Us BetterJoin us on Substack!Join the Behavioral Grooves communitySubscribe to Behavioral Grooves on YouTubeSupport Behavioral GroovesMusic LinksBach - Air on the G String (Orchestral Suite No. 3)London Grammar - Hey Now
