It’s not the title of her new book, but this sharp takeaway from Annie Duke’s recent appearance on Jonathan Stark and Rochelle Moulton’s The Business of Authority would make a great choice for her next one.
Or a podcast (if she doesn’t already have one).
“Wanna bet?”
It’s a quick way to get you thinking more rationally about an emotional decision or statement you’re making.
Particularly in a situation where you’re guaranteeing something that isn’t certain.
In Annie’s words, “Wanna bet?” causes you “to focus in on the uncertainty” and get out of any false overconfidence.
It reminds you to check and see if there are aspects you’re overlooking.
Maybe there are things you don’t know.
If so, what could they be? How sure are you that this is the best decision you can make?
This was a great listen (thanks, Jonathan!) and one of those episodes I know I’ll go through more than once.
Highly recommended!
Betting man,
