In a pod with Scott Galloway, discussing 'sense of self', author and scientist Adam Grant accidentally poses an accurate summation of practitioner challenges within the healthcare-industrial complex:

"'I am who I am' is not a sign of a strong identity, it's a mark of a closed mind. A rigid sense of self is a barrier to growth and makes you a prisoner of your past..."

"A mistake I see alot of people make is that they anchor their identities on their opinions and beliefs... and that stops you from evolving what you think and also how you think"

"A strong sense of self ought not be 'I am what I think is true, but 'I am what I think is important' ... in other words: if you're going to have a strong sense of identity, it should be grounded in your values, not your beliefs"

"An easy example - if you're a doctor, and you decide you're going to base your identity on, say a half-century ago, that you will be a professional lobotomist and that's what I believe is helpful to people, you're going to have a really difficult time accepting the evidence that removing a part of people's brain is not actually helping resolve the disorder you're trying to treat!"

"Whereas, if you anchor your identity on a value, of protecting people's health, and trying to promote their well-being, then as soon as the evidence shifts, you can change your mind with it..."

"And so, I would not want to go to the doctor who holds an identity around particular treatments, I want to go to the doctor who has an identity around following the evidence around particular treatments..."
