227. Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away, with Annie Duke

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today's conversation, I am joined by Annie Duke, a former professional poker player (widely known as one of the best female players in the world) who also has an impressive and fascinating background in psychology, which she will talk about on the show today. I've been wanting to have Annie on for ages, she has two other fantastic books called</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thinking in Bets</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to Decide,</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and I am so delighted that she wrote this additional book,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Quit</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, which we are talking about today (and really, she talks about all three books in our conversation).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am so honored and delighted that Annie took the time to chat with me for this interview. We had a great conversation and ended up chatting for over 90 minutes (with about 80 of those recorded). Here on the show today, we are cutting that conversation down to fit in under an hour but if you want to hear the full conversation in detail, come on over to the BE Thoughtful Revolution membership group -- it's our free community of behavioral economics enthusiasts from around the world, and you can check out the full video interview and conversation. Annie is a wealth of knowledge and insights, so you will want to glean every extra moment just like I did, I'm sure – be sure to stick around for monkeys and pedestals!</span></p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Notes:</span></h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[00:40] In today's conversation, I am joined by Annie Duke, a former professional poker player who also has an impressive and fascinating background in psychology.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:07] Annie shares her background and how she found herself in the world of behavioral science. </span></
