Strengths or Weaknesses

11.18.2020 // Thinking and Decision Making
The human experience is a rotating kaleidoscope of talents and shortcomings. Resting on our abilities or solely focusing on our strengths can be more fun; they don’t trigger our insecurities the way confronting our shortcomings might. But, what would happen if we only focused on our strengths...

How sure are you?: A Guide to Better Decision Making

11.11.2020 // Thinking and Decision Making

Don't Be Stupid

12.19.2019 // Thinking and Decision Making
One night in early July of 2018, at least three rhino poachers set out with a malevolent goal: to sneak into the Sibuya Game Reserve in South Africa, kill an endangered rhino, steal its horn, then sneak back out - all on foot.

Things I've Changed My Mind About

12.12.2019 // Thinking and Decision Making
Changing your mind should be easy. When faced with evidence proving you incorrect, it makes sense to update your thinking. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. I’ve worked hard to fight my instinct to cling to cherished beliefs in the face of facts that might suggest otherwise. Although it...

Anyone who’s done the slightest amount of handiwork around a house knows the greater the variety of tools at your fingertips, the better. Sure, you can hang frames using just a hammer and nails, but sometimes better accuracy, precision, and utility can be achieved with the help of a drill and ...

Man with a hammer

08.30.2016 // Thinking and Decision Making
For centuries, martial artists debated over which style was most effective. Cases were made for karate, judo, jujitsu, muay thai, wrestling, and a number of others. However, whenever these arguments were put to the test, they were often more reflective of the individual combatant’s abilities r...

Part 1 and Part 2 of this series covered six predominant investing biases that I’ve noticed over my years and research as a wealth manager: overconfidence, social proof, pride and regret, the halo effect, considering the past, and the illusion of diversification. We’ve got two more to go...
