Sometimes you make a good decision, and you have a bad outcome. Even more dangerous, sometimes you make a bad decision, and have a good outcome (you’ll learn why).
Annie Duke (@AnnieDuke) is a former professional poker player, and a decision strategist. She’s dedicated to improving decision-making skills around the world amongst adults and children. She’s author of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- We often think of life as like a game of chess. Why is it actually more like a game of poker?
- How do we separate luck from skill? Learn the most common mental error people make that holds them back from ever learning to make better decisions.
- Why do strong opinions make you dumber? Learn how to overcome “motivated reasoning” to make more accurate predictions, and better decisions.
