Ron Chernow is a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer whose work has deepened our understanding of the men who made history in America, and even inspired Lin Manuel Miranda to write his musical about Alexander Hamilton. In this episode, he and Adam discuss Ron’s new book on Mark Twain, analyze what fuels outsized accomplishments, and dig into what it takes to uncover new insights into the lives of historical figures.FollowHost: Adam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="http://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adamgrant.net/</a>)Guest: Ron Chernow (Website: <a href="https://ronchernow.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ronchernow.com/</a>)&nbsp;Links<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/mark-twain-ron-chernow/21810476?ean=9780525561729&next=t&affiliate=2186" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mark Twain</a> by Ron Chernow&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/alexander-hamilton-ron-chernow/586714?ean=9780143034759&next=t" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alexander Hamilton</a> by Ron ChernowSubscribe to TED&nbsp;Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted</a>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @TED</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @tedtoks</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted-conferences</a>Website:<a href="https://ted.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ted.com</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a>Want to help shape TED’s shows going forward?
