Day 133 - Prospect Theory and the Weight of Our Decisions

In this conversation, Guy Reams delves into Prospect Theory, a foundational concept in behavioral economics that explains how people make decisions under risk.

Reams offers practical strategies for improving decision-making by recognizing these biases and reframing how we assess risks and rewards.
