Episode notes

We're living in a world of too much noise and too much information. How do you actually separate that signal from noise and find out the right information to base your decision on? You should just say on its face, does it seem reasonable? And lots of information that you see on its face just doesn't seem reasonable. But one thing I want people to watch out for is that there's a weird thing about our cognition, which is the more we hear something, the more true it sounds. So simple, repeated messages, you need to start to question because the nuanced messages are probably more likely to be true.

Annie Duke is author, corporate speaker, and consultant in the decision-making space. For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions. She retired from the game in 2012. Annie is author of multiple wonderful books, including Thinking in Bets, How We Decide, and her latest being Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away.

In this episode, Annie talks about why life is like poker and not chess, how to make sound decisions, the power of quitting, and much more.
