Thinking in Bets: When You Don’t Have All the Facts Creating Smarter Decisions

Annie Duke is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner, the winner of the 2004 Tournament of Champions and the only girl to win the NBC National Poker Heads Up Championship. Now, as a professional speaker and conclusion strategist, she and her cognitive psychology grad work at UPenn merge her poker expertise. She is a founder of I Decide, a nonprofit that produces tools and curricula to enhance critical thinking abilities and decision making for schoolers.
Thinking in Bets provides a persuasive, and eminently useful, fresh way to think about life’s decisions. Annie Duke has written an often humorous, and important, publication which will allow you to understand your flaws –and make decisions as a result. You can bet on it.
A book both entertaining and practical, based as it is on lessons learned making under stress, as Annie Duke and poker played. At heart, it’s about how we distinguish skill from luck in decisions, how we could improve the skill component of the equilibrium,while understanding that fortune will play a part.
