Evaluating Decisions: Good Move? Bad Move?

from Oz Survivor Hosted by Oz Survivor

'Russell is the King of survivor and made the best move ever' OR 'Russell is so stupid why didn't he play is idol?'. People feel really strongly about this move, and obviously both of these opinions can't be right... In this episode, I use the ideas from a book called 'Thinking In Bets' by Annie Duke to dissect what makes a good decision or a 'good move'. I look at the ideas of 'resulting' and 'hindsight bias' to assess the moves that Russell made in Season 3 of Australian Survivor, culminating in his eventual exit (with an idol around his neck). If you want to make better decisions in life (or in survivor), check out Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Thinking-Bets-Annie-Duke/9780735216358/?a_aid=adamsbooks
