Never Go with Your Gut: Advice for Individuals to adjust to the new normal during and after COVID-19

Just a few highlights from the interview:

• Tsipursky refers to COVID-19 as a slow-moving train wreck and that we need to recognize the flaws in our brain/thinking system so we can identify and act on solutions
• There are more than 100 cognitive biases that cloud our judgment and leave us with a bias blindspot but three, in particular, have long term consequences if not addressed related to decisions we are making resulting from COVID-19
• Life is like 100,000 coin flips, over time those risks offer a broad repeating pattern where we are more likely to lose more by not taking the riskier course; removing emotion, shifting from the autopilot side of the brain to the intentional thinking side of the brain can help us make rational, data-driven decisions instead
