Why, then, do parents, schools and employers insist that we restrict our many talents and interests; that we 'specialise' in just one We've been sold a myth, that to 'specialise' is the only way to pursue truth, identity, or even a livelihood.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Smarter decision-making based on cognitive scienceAlphaBrain is the investor's guide to achieving more, doing better, and reaching higher. At its core, the magnitude of your success is based on the quality of your decisions. The problem is that human beings are poor decision-makers; we tend to approach problems after they arise instead of planning for them in advance.

This book offers a way to understand and plan for the human mind's usual tendencies to help you make smarter investment decisions. Using a framework based on cognitive research, you'll learn how to approach decisions objectively, systematically, and constantly review your process; you'll take action based on evidence instead of intuition, and get ahead of potential problems before they get the best of you.With so much riding on the correctness of your choices, natural tendency can be a dangerous thing.
