If you want to manage your own money, you need to be able to think independently rather than being influenced by too many sources.
We discuss what influences our decision-making, and the two different ways of making a decision.
That is, individually, or as part of a group.
Some of the points we cover in this episode include:
-How we are influenced by the media and our social circle
-How to disseminate information more carefully
-Being wary of narrative economics
-The Myers-Briggs test versus the Enneagram Assessment
-How the brain creates emotions
-Influence fads
-Social physics: why we don’t always act as individuals in our own self-interest
-Why this cycle has echoes of the dotcom bubble?
