Amy Alkon's HumanLab -- The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science.
Dr. Dylan Evans will be talking about risk intelligence and how you can increase your ability to make wise decisions.
Wise decisions are fact-based decisions instead of the superstition- and ignorance-based ones that are often the defaults ones our brain pushes us toward.
It’s especially important to be factual about your own level of ignorance surrounding an area you need to make a decision about and factor that in.
Evans' very smart book we'll be discussing is RISK INTELLIGENCE: How to live with uncertainty.
Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. PT, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.
And please support the show by buying my science-based book, Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence. (St. Martin's Griffin, 2018.)
"Unf*ckology" was serialized in the Feb. 2018 Psychology Today. It's one of Quillette's 10 book picks for 2018 along with Steven Pinker's. And it's an ELLE 2018 book pick: "Practical and hilarious."
