Summary

“If you pick the easy route, then you’re picking it to give yourself an out.” Lewis is joined by New York Times bestselling author and Psychology PhD Maria Konnikova, who recently attempted to become a poker champ in order to study social dynamics and decision-making. They discuss how you can learn more from reading people's bodies than their faces, how to become aware of emotional triggers and establish routines to prevent them, and why the process is always more important than the outcome.
