Angela Duckworth has studied the science of excellence. For Duckworth, innate talent and grit are two different things. Outliers in excellence are different because of their diligence, hard work and resilience. Grit builds with age; it is not fixed. People can get grittier as they age. Grit is sustained passion and perseverance for especially long-term goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601622352{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2503″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2505″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1536601660542{background-color: #0c80cd !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601766017{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Ariely studies how to get people to change their behavior. To achieve behavior change, there are three approaches: reduce friction, put in more energy or make the desired behavior more motivating. Ariely focuses on friction and the often huge gap between what people want and what they actually do. To illustrate this point, he asked how many in the audience currently had a subscription of any kind that needs to be canceled. There were many of us.<\/p>\n
As part of his work, he is constantly structuring experiments to get people to do specific things perceived as good for them. Switch to less costly generic medication and save money. Establish a practice of saving money, so families have a safety net. Lose weight and reap multiple health benefits.<\/p>\n
In each case he tackles, Ariely tries several approaches to get to the requisite response. In his experience, bringing about change requires going into and interacting with the small details of choice architecture.<\/p>\n

Introducing Dr. Adler, Douglas S. Kondziolka, MD, FAANS described him as \u201cdisruptive, determined and dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his acceptance, Dr. Adler predicted \u201csurgery options of later 21st and 22nd century will increasingly use machines we can now only dream of.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601809167{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2512″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2513″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1536601820948{background-color: #00bac7 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601882824{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Dr. Harbaugh was introduced by Frederick A. Boop, MD, FAANS. After listing all of Dr. Harbaugh\u2019s myriad accomplishments and contributions to neurosurgery in general and the AANS and NPA in particular, Dr. Boop concluded, \u201cAnd he can tap dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for the award and the privilege of serving,\u201d said Dr. Harbaugh in his acceptance. \u201cAny work done for neurosurgery was a labor of love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Valadka asked his children to provide the introduction to his Presidential Address, because it was one more way to highlight the meeting theme, The Privilege of Service<\/em>. Neurosurgeons do not do their jobs in a vacuum. The time, energy and focus required for a career in neurosurgery take away from\u00a0the amount of time, energy and focus available for everything else, including family. Jaclyn and Patrick Valadka shared their memories of growing up with a father who often was not home because he had to “go round the hospital.”[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/6UOy-fKW5BE”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”2517″ img_size=”350×506″][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601903939{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”2518″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536601612438{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Louise Eisenhardt Lecture Angela Duckworth Angela Duckworth has studied the science of excellence.
