Does instinct trump expertise? Can playing poker improve your intuition? And why did Angela jump off of a moving trolley car?
Before we start today's show, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the recent passing of doctor Danny Kahneman.
Danny was, in my opinion, one of the greatest psychologists of all time, if not the greatest psychologist of all time.
And what's more, Danny's character was without comparison.
He was gracious and kind.
He was quick to apologize and loath to take credit.
The world is not the same without his brilliant mind.
We hope you enjoyed today's show, which, like so many of our episodes, relies heavily on Dani's work to answer a not so stupid question about human behavior.
He will be sorely missed.
Hey, wait a minute.
You need to do something different.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Mike Mann, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
Is your intuition leading you astray?
You think you're trusting your gut, but really you're just panicking.
Angela, I think we have a really fascinating question today from a listener named Rebecca.
Okay.
She says this.
My son has been having issues with sleep for months.
We've tried various forms of sleep training, but I've never been able to fully commit to them.
