David Duchovny knows a lot about success — he’s a Golden Globe-winning actor who has had iconic roles from
The X-Files to
Californication. But as a literature PhD dropout turned director turned songwriter and novelist, David is more interested in failure and what it can teach us. Adam and David discuss the value of falling short of our goals, the perils of success, and whether nice people really finish last. David’s new podcast
Fail Better is out now. Transcripts for ReThinking are available at go.ted.com/RWAGscripts
