Synopsis

What does our desire for certainty and control have to do with our decision-making? According to behavioral economics pioneer Peter Atwater, the answer is simple: everything. Today, Peter joins us to talk about how to get comfortable without certainty or control, why powerlessness is a choice, and why the future we imagine is consistent with how we feel today. I'm really excited to talk with Peter about the hidden role of confidence in the choices we make, and why events described as being unprecedented are often entirely predictable—if we know what to look for.
