Episode notes
Two Decision-Making Systems
- We make decisions using two systems: intuitive (System 1) and deliberate (System 2).
- Over-relying on System 2 leads to slow decisions, stress, and self-doubt.
Flow State on the Mountain
- Rían Doris describes experiencing effortless, intuitive decision-making while in flow state running down a mountain.
- This highlighted the contrast with his struggles to make a simple college decision.

- This allows for faster, more efficient pattern recognition and instinctual decisions.
