and author of
Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition
In a groundbreaking new book, Michael Mauboussin examines a paradox of critical importance to decision-makers everywhere: Why is it that the correct process for making good decisions - especially when stakes are high - clashes with how the mind actually works? Follow the author as he explores the disconnect and outlines creative - and often counterintuitive - strategies to override the conflict and help you THINK TWICE. Michael's presentation, punctuated by colorful stories from business, sports, science and the everyday, promises to be instructive and entertaining. The takeaway: New insights into common "decision traps" that can open the way for you to make smarter choices in every aspect of your life.
Michael's last book, More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places, has been translated into 8 languages and was named best business book by BusinessWeek and best economics book by Strategy+Business. A riveting speaker, he's known for his original research - and an innovative teaching style that's been profiled in The New York Times and The New Yorker and on 20/20.
