- Reposted by Annie Duke“For something as important as decision making, we spend remarkably little time teaching people how to do it.” Matt Grawitch’s latest post builds on @annieduke.com’s framework, suggesting it embraces more explicitly real life emotion, complexity and change: buff.ly/NJECv7R

- Reposted by Annie DukeIt may go against your intuition, but good decision making is not measured by its *outcome*—it’s a case of adopting a sound framework as a basis for the *process*, argues @annieduke.com: buff.ly/ciaElUt

- Reposted by Annie DukeOne thing to learn from Thinking in Bets by @annieduke.com is how every product-related decision is a bet. Building a feature, defining experiments, scoping MVP, you name it. What follows, in the vast majority of cases, smaller bet will be smarter. In other words: build less.
- Reposted by Annie Duke“When we finally quit, we realize we should have done it long ago.” ~ @annieduke.com It always surprises me in how many contexts it stands true. Pulling a plug on a new product idea? Check. Finally, letting an underperformed go? Check. Heck, my marriage... Check.

- Reposted by Annie DukeThe highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

- Reposted by Annie DukeThinking of making a New Year’s resolution? You’re in good company. Lots of people use fresh start dates like new year’s to motivate goal pursuit. If Jan 1 gives you a sense that your past failures are history and makes you think big picture about your goals, you may benefit from leaning into it! 🧵

- Reposted by Annie Duke@annieduke.com’s book “thinking in bets” is a game changer. It’s one of those books that enlightens you while filling in the gaps in your life’s experiences and makes sense of it all. It’s a great read and re-read.

- Reposted by Annie DukeI just finished reading "How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices" by @annieduke.com. There are a lot of parallels with reinforcement learning if you're into that, but it's definitely an easier read than the book by R. Sutton and A. Barto 😂. Great book—highly recommended!
