Between the pandemic and the election, it feels like there has been more than ever riding on the decisions that public and private sector leaders are making. How can we use insights from economics and psychology to improve decision making and change behavior for good? Prof. Don Moore hosts Katy Milkman, professor at The Wharton School, host of Charles Schwab’s popular Choiceology podcast, and co-director of The Behavior Change for Good Initiative. Milkman’s research and writing explore ways in which we all deviate from making optimal choices, as well as how our decisions can be improved. Moore is an expert on decision making and overconfidence, and the author of Perfectly Confident: How to Calibrate Your Decisions Wisely.
