Annie is the best-selling author of two books, Thinking in Bets and How to Decide. She started out at the University of Pennsylvania studying cognitive science. Her brother suggested that she play poker as a way to make some money on the side. Annie's rallying cry is that we should quit a lot more.
Annie Duke believes we should be quitting things more often, a skill she honed during her lucrative years as a professional poker player on the world stage. Annie talks about the science of quitting, and shows us how to get out of our own way and learn to quit when we should.
