Can a disadvantage become an advantage? Is there a way to turn your greatest adversity into your greatest advantage? According to the Compensation Theory, the answer is YES!

What is the Compensation Theory? It's the idea that a disadvantage in life can actually become a significant advantage for you if you learn how to compensate for it. In the book David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell refers to the Compensation Theory by using phrases like "the advantages of disadvantages" and "the theory of desirable difficulty." He frames challenges like dyslexia as difficulties, but when people learn to compensate and work around their dyslexia, they find that their difficulty has actually led to a massive opportunity. It's E+R=O (events + RESPONSE = outcome) at it's best!
