Games help us understand life, @annieduke.com tells @jennygrankin.bsky.social—the best games involve the two things that characterize life and provide the context for the decisions we make—skill, and luck: buff.ly/yMQsF7u

After every decision we make, we have an opportunity to learn how we can reduce uncertainty when making future decisions. Great insight by @annieduke.com in conversation with @jennygrankin.bsky.social: buff.ly/m8HslTO

Persistence is not always a virtue. A good heuristic: when you consider quitting is likely the point at which you should quit, @annieduke.com tells @jennygrankin.bsky.social: buff.ly/Q43aQQ4

“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

It 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

Classic example of "outcome bias," or what @annieduke.com calls "resulting." To avoid reckless decision processes, read my blog TEAMpubilchealth.substack.com . www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Fascinating, from @annieduke.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

One 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.

“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.

Critical Thinking skills are sorely lacking in the West. Probabilistic resources: alliancefordecisioneducation.org @annieduke.com book "Quit" The Art of Uncertainty: How to Navigate Chance, Ignorance, Risk and Luck (David Spiegelhalter 2025) Risk Savvy: How to Make Good Decisions (Gerd Gigerenzer)

"I am not in the business of telling people what to decide, but in helping people with how to decide," @annieduke.com writes. "That is what I did this week when two government workers (independently) sought me out for help." wapo.st/4jJg0mW

The 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.

This piece by @annieduke.com is fun and useful - like her books. If you haven’t read one, start with Thinking in Bets and go from there. and Happy New Year Annie! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Thinking 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! 🧵

Great article to start the new year by @annieduke.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

@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.

I ❤️ this from @annieduke.com's latest Mailbag: "We spend a lot of time...collecting more data than we need to decide in the service of defending ourselves if we get a bad outcome...When a bad result happens, we think we...should have spent more time deciding." annieduke.substack.com/p/mailbag-an...

Terrific advice from the great Annie Duke ( @annieduke.com ) in response to a question I had. Very helpful!
