If you persuade yourself that it isn't,
you're going to hit the ground hard.
No wonder Mark Peratt didn't find it so easy to get back on his feet.
This episode was inspired by David Epstein's book Inside the Box, How Constraints Make Us Better, and also by the fascinating fly-on-the-wall documentary General Magic.
For a full list of sources, see the show notes at timharford.com.
Cautionary Tales is written by me, Tim Harford, with Andrew Wright, Alice Fiennes and Ryan Dilley.
It's produced by Georgia Mills and Marilyn Rust.
The sound design and original music are the work of Pascal Wise.
Ben-Nadav Hafri edited the scripts.
The show also wouldn't have been possible without the work of Jacob Weisberg, Greta Cohn, Corinne Gileard-Fisher, Eric Sandler, Christina Sullivan, Keira Posey and Owen Miller.
Cautionary Tales is a production of Pushkin Industries.
