Sometimes we think people succeed because of skill and other times we think they succeed because of luck. Whether other people view our successes as due to luck or skill can have a huge impact on our self-esteem, as well as whether we get a job, make a team, or win a prize. Nevertheless, most of us suffer from a common error in making such judgments: we tend to think that people who succeed because of skill actually succeed because of luck. In this talk, Preston Greene reveals why we're not as lucky as we might think.

Preston Greene is an assistant professor in the philosophy group at Nanyang Technological Univeristy. He completed a PhD in philosophy from Rutgers University. Before that he was an actor, game show host, educational software developer, and intercollegiate soccer player at the University of California at Santa Cruz. His research concerns ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of science.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
