Duckworth underscores the importance of prizing nuance over novelty. He continues:
It is part and parcel of human D.N.A., the human condition, to be interested in things that are new — things that we haven’t seen before, things that we haven’t experienced before. This drive for novelty, neophilia, is with us at all stages of life.
Once you are an expert, you can discern these subtle differences. And I think that makes life full of novelty. … It’s not that you run out of these subtleties. In fact, the more you know, the more you notice. And so, you can, essentially, enjoy a life of never being bored.
