Are you ready to sharpen your decision-making skills, manage risk, and master the unpredictable nature of luck in your life? Our insightful online course, 'Maria Konnikova on Poker, Decision-Making, and Human Psychology,' invites you on a unique journey to transform how you approach uncertainty, inspired by the profound lessons from the world of professional poker.

Led by Maria Konnikova, a New Yorker writer with a Ph.D. in psychology who transitioned into a professional poker player, this 10-lesson, 12-page course (graded on assessments) unveils profound insights into human psychology and strategic decision-making. Konnikova's personal experiment, detailed in her acclaimed book 'The Biggest Bluff,' demonstrates how she leveraged her knowledge of human behaviour to excel in poker, offering a powerful metaphor for navigating life's complexities. Her journey was inspired by game theory's foundational texts, which highlight poker as a perfect model for strategic decision-making under incomplete information, much like real life.

You'll discover how understanding common poker elements and psychological principles can help you develop healthy decision-making skills:

• A Philosophy of Betting: Learn to confront the probabilistic nature of reality and counteract false confidence by understanding what's truly at stake. This approach helps you make more rational choices by revealing the true level of your certainty and moving beyond black-and-white thinking.
• Pick Your Spots: Develop a strategic mindset to know precisely when and how to be aggressive. You'll learn to apply fighter pilot John Boyd's OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to gather maximum information, allowing you to play smart, not scared, in high-stakes situations.

By the end of this course, you will not only gain a deeper appreciation for the power of poker as a life metaphor but also become a better thinker, a more confident decision-maker, and a more empathetic person. Embrace uncertainty, pay attention to the world around you and to yourself, and unlock your full potential for informed choices and personal growth in life's beautiful, messy, and unpredictable game.
