A Conversation with @AnnieDuke: Improving Your Decision Skills If you've not heard her content on this topic before, here is a good start for you: decidership.com/p/annie-duke…

Had a great chat with Stephen from Decidership about how to improve decision skills. Stephen just shared that since our conversation, he has been "paying extra attention to not to telling other people what I think when trying to get feedback :) !" Maybe some more helpful tools for you in our convo, too. Full convo here: decidership.com/p/annie-duke…

I love this excerpt from my interview with @AnnieDuke, one of my favorite guests on the #RicherWiserHappier podcast. Here, she offers superb insights on how to avoid being irrational when we have a losing investment. youtube.com/watch?v=Nu9qgbRm…. I'm now sharing highlights like this on my new YouTube channel (@WilliamGreenMarketsandLife), including clips from my conversations with great investors like Ray Dalio, Howard Marks, Joel Greenblatt, Mohnish Pabrai, Tom Russo & many more. I hope you find it a helpful resource.

With the new workbook from @alldecisioned, “Raising Better Decision Makers,” families can practice building stronger decision-making skills together. The earlier we can introduce these life-changing skills in families, the better. Download today! alliancefordecisioneducation…

In my Substack column this week, I have a guest post with @SimoneStolzoff, a journalist from San Francisco. His new book, How To Not Know, is out this week. I liked it so much, I wrote a blurb for it. Check it out :). I know you will enjoy this guest post from him as much as I enjoyed his whole book. annieduke.substack.com/p/wan…

Finance textbooks teach you about confirmation bias and expected value. But when you’re iterating so quickly in poker — hand after hand, decision after decision — it gets into your bones in a way that reading about it doesn’t. You develop a feel for probability that you can’t get from doing equations.

Annie Duke (@AnnieDuke) is a decision-making expert, former professional poker player, special partner at @firstround, and the author of Thinking in Bets (a national bestseller) and Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away. She also co-founded @AllDecisionEd, a nonprofit whose mission is to improve lives by empowering students through decision skills education. In our conversation, Annie shares: 🔸 Her biggest lessons from the late Daniel Kahneman 🔸 How to use pre-mortems and “kill criteria” 🔸 The power of “mental time travel” 🔸 The relationship between money and happiness 🔸 The nominal group technique for better decisions 🔸 How @firstround improved their decision-making process using her techniques 🔸 A ton of tactical decision-making frameworks 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 - YouTube: youtu.be/svQMODvIGAE - Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5I8… - Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Some key takeaways: 1. Use the “3Ds” framework to make better decisions for your org: a. Discover: Collect individual opinions independently before group discussion and then share these with everybody prior to the meeting. b. Discuss: Compare perspectives within the group, focusing on understanding points of disagreement rather than building consensus. c. Decide: Make decisions independently post-discussion to minimize group influence. 2. Incorporate the word “nevertheless” into discussions, especially when making decisions or addressing disagreements. It acknowledges the other person’s perspective while affirming your decision or stance. 3. Replace confrontational language like “I disagree” or “you’re wrong” with phrases like “I don’t understand” so everyone feels heard and valued. If people feel heard, they are more likely to feel like they contributed to the decision, even when they disagree. 4. Use pre-mortems to set kill criteria. Before starting a project, imagine failure and what early warning signs might have predicted it. Commit in advance to reassess or pivot if you notice those red flags later on. This makes it easier to walk away when sunk costs and overconfidence bias loom large. 5. Know that if you’re considering quitting, it’s likely overdue. Uncertainty, sunk costs, identity, and ownership effects conspire to make us persist with failing efforts longer than we should. We wait for incontrovertible proof to quit. If quitting crosses your mind, examine if you’d start the project today given what you now know.

Or as @AnnieDuke put it, “Thinking in Bets”. You can’t directly calculate the future cost of current decisions, but you can reason about it probabilistically.
