Buretmicae here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So the past few years there's been a lot of books that have come out about how irrational

humans are and that we shouldn't follow our gut or intuition.

We shouldn't use heuristics to make decisions quickly instead we should really think things

out.

My guess today makes the case that while the research that has come out in the past few

years that these books are based on are useful, they provide some great insights, they don't

really show us how human beings make decisions in the real world.

All these experiments that this research has been based on has been done in the lab.

My guess today makes the case in the real world in complex environments, your intuition,

your gut, whatever you want to call it using heuristics can actually be extremely useful

and right most of the time.

His name is Gary Klein, he is a pioneer in the field of naturalistic decision making

in the author several books.

One is that I've read recently is Street Lights and Shadows which is all about decision making

in complex environments making fast decisions based on your intuition.

In his recent book which I've also read is called Seen What Others Don't and it's all

about how we gain insights and the science of gaining new insights.

Anyways, stay on the podcast Dr. Klein and I are going to discuss his research in naturalistic

decision making, how we can become better decision makers and how we can become more agile

decision makers learning how to use those heuristics and intuition when we need to and then also

knowing how to use that sort of more slow methodical analytical decision making in certain
