About this episode
You think you're rational? Think again. We love feeling like thoughtful decision-makers, but the truth is we're riddled with cognitive shortcuts.
Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work breaks down the systems of our mind. We constantly substitute hard questions with easy ones; e.g. Buying a stock because you like the company, not because you've done the data.
This episode cuts through the 300,000-word book to show you exactly how these shortcuts lead to everything from bad investments to pointless stress about the weather. It's time to stop letting your brain’s simple tricks run your whole life.
Stop overestimating the importance of your current stress.
Identify and reduce low-level daily pains (like a bad commute) for massive life returns.
Implement a "sleep-on-it" rule to override System 1's instant commitments.
Why let a lazy brain ruin your best decisions? Start thinking slower today.
