ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke delves into the art of making effective decisions when complete information is unavailable. It posits that life, much like poker, is a game of uncertainty where outcomes aren't solely determined by skill. The book explores the cognitive biases that cloud our judgment and hinder rational choices. It emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty and redefining what it means to be wrong, encouraging readers to focus on the decision-making process rather than solely on the results. Furthermore, it examines how our beliefs are formed and protected, and how we can learn and improve by viewing decisions as bets on potential futures.
