What Makes Great Leaders & How to Live an Extraordinary Life | Dr. Jared Diamond

Dr. Jared Diamond, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and polymath, joins Andrew Huberman to explore the nature of leadership through examples from history, religion, sports, and business. They discuss what makes leaders effective or disastrous, from Hitler and Harry Truman to cult leader Jim Jones. Diamond shares how childhood curiosity and field biology shaped his interdisciplinary career and why learning languages, physical vitality, and cross-disciplinary thinking are essential for tackling humanity's biggest challenges, including population growth. The conversation also touches on the coaching philosophy of John Wooden and the values-driven leadership of Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard.
