How To Make Better Decisions (with way less uncertainty) - Joe Hudson - #1171

Joe Hudson joins to talk about decision-making as a trainable skill rather than a personality trait. The conversation covers why intelligent people often struggle most with decisions, how emotion and information compete for control of a choice, and how fear keeps people stuck on decisions they already know the answer to. From there it moves through intuition, the trap of audience capture, why principles make individual choices easier, and how to tell real intuition apart from fear masquerading as it. Later sections deal with regret, the hidden costs of indecision, and the biggest decisions people face.
