The act of journaling is a way of helping you inquire better and be curious about things that you haven't thought about. I think we're actually going to publish one that people can buy on Amazon and write at some point this year. And for those of you listening, if you go to fs.blog.com, you can get access to the template that we have online.

My guest today is celebrated research psychologist Gary Klein who has spent nearly 50 years studying how and why people make the decisions they do.

We discuss naturalistic decision making, the crucial difference between experience and expertise, why some people stagnate and others progress, Cognitive Flexibility Theory, the role of storytelling, surprising ways to gain insights, fixation errors, cognitive biases, mental models, accelerated learning, and so much more.
