The Value Perspective with Annie Duke pt 2

Annie Duke returns for her second appearance on the The Value Perspective. Juan Torres Rodriguez sat down to discuss with Annie more about the probabilistic mind-set. Annie shows how using probabilities to observe your everyday actions can help you to understand the decisions that you make and recognise how and why you make guesses. Her new book ‘How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices’ is available now.
