@AdamMGrant was kind enough to read and blurb How to Decide. I am so grateful to him and want to celebrate his amazing work in return.

1/10
.@AdamMGrant is the author of the NYT Bestseller Give and Take, a must read for anyone trying to excel in business or in their personal life.

2/10
Don’t take it from me, though. The list of fans of the book speaks for itself: @DanielPink @DanTGilbert @RobertCialdini @susancain @ThisIsSethsBlog and Tony Hsieh, to name just a few.

3/10

As @danariely says, “Give and Take dispels commonly held beliefs that equate givers with weakness and takers with strength. Grant shows us the importance of nurturing and encouraging prosocial behaviors.”

4/10
Here is his @TEDTalks on Givers and Takers which shows what a compelling teacher, speaker and mind @AdamMGrant is. It has been viewed close to 8 million times.

5/10

.@AdamMGrant is also the author of Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, which made it to #1 on the NYT Bestseller list. Aside from all the usual luminaries heaping prase on this book, @jjabrams and @RyanSeacrest joined in the praise!

Another great @TEDTalks from @AdamMGrant on Originals, with a mere 16,500,000 views (yawn)

.@AdamMGrant's new book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know, comes out Feb 2021 and examines the art of critical rethinking, question your own opinion, and opening other people’s minds.
I’ve already pre-ordered & so should you!

Aside from what I’ve mentioned, @AdamMGrant has co-authored a lovely children’s book, The Lief and the Fall, with his wife, Allison Sweet Grant.

9/10

Last but not least, @AdamMGrant is an amazing teacher. I have had the pleasure of getting to see his teaching in person and he is the rare combo of a great researcher and a great teacher. He is truly an Original.

In < 2 weeks (Nov. 28) I’m launching my 1st cohort-based decision-making class on @MavenHQ. It’s for entrepreneurs, executive-level decision makers, investors & anyone seeking to make higher quality decisions in their business, work, and personal life.

1/ 11 Image
I've been studying how to make better decisions under uncertainty my whole adult life: professional poker player career, work in cognitive science, writing 3 books about decision making & consulting w/ incredible companies like @firstround @RenegadePtnrs and @mParticle.
2/11
My clients have to make high stakes decisions under conditions of uncertainty every day.

Quitting gets a bad rap. Language favors grit over quitting. We’re taught that people who quit are cowards and that quitting is an obstacle to overcome.

1/6
I reject this. I wrote #QUIT to rehabilitate quitting’s image and to show people that it is a valuable decision skill and our best tool for making decisions under uncertainty.

2/6
It allows us to change course when new information is revealed, let go of things that aren’t worthwhile, and make the best next move.

The most meaningful conversations your team needs to be having (that you probably aren't already) are around quitting.

#THREAD

1/4
It’s critical to understand that while your intuition is probably telling you that improving quitting behavior won’t make a difference in your decision-making or your business – that intuition is not correct.

2/4
Quitting is your secret weapon. It’s a superpower that takes time to master, but once you do, you will save your organization time, energy, and money.

Lead your team through this exercise during my Flight Cohort on @BalloonPlatform. You'll identify mission-critical parts to tackle first, create experiments to decide what’s worth pursuing, identify tasks to put on the backburner & build a project plan around these pieces.

1/4
I can guarantee using this framework with your team will help you make the best next move and save your team time, energy, and money.

2/4
If you’ve already purchased #QUIT, you can get a discount code for 10% off of the Balloon Flight Cohort by filling out this proof of purchase form: surveymonkey.com/r/QuitADuke

Inflexible goals aren’t a good fit for a flexible world.

1/6
After we set a goal, it becomes a fixed object.

The goal becomes the object of our grit, instead of all the values expressed and balanced when we originally set the goal, even as all the inputs that led to choosing that particular goal evolve.

2/6
The conditions in the world change.

Our knowledge changes.

The weights we attach to the benefits and costs change.

Our preferences and values change.

In #QUIT, I outline the various cognitive and motivational forces that work against good quitting behavior. There’s sunk cost bias, desire for certainty, escalation of commitment, status quo bias, and endowment bias (to name a few).

1/9
I go into different mental models and frameworks to build good quitting behaviors into your toolbox, like thinking in expected value, increasing flexibility in goal-setting, establishing “quitting criteria” and contracts, etc.

2/9
I can’t emphasize enough how important these tools are — but it can be difficult to bring your team or company along as well, especially when collaborative settings add in a whole host of additional group dynamics and biases that work against good decision-making.
