Summary

My guest today is Arthur Markman, the Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the Founding Director of the Program in the Human Dimensions of Organizations. The HDO program brings the humanities and the social behavioral sciences to people in business. Art’s research explores thinking. He has studied the way people form and use analogies, the mechanisms of decision making, the modes that allow people to form categories, and the influences of motivation on reasoning. Art is also the executive editor of the journal Cognitive Science and is a former executive officer of the Cognitive Science Society.

The topic is his book Bring Your Brain to Work.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Markman shows you how to use your different mental systems–motivational, social, and cognitive–to manage them more effectively.

0:00.0	This is trend following radio where great thinking comes alive.
0:10.9	Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.
0:21.2	I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.

2:21.2	It applies to entrepreneurs too. It applies to crazy people like me. Arts work I saw recently. I think it's a great
