Updated April 2013

Jim Connolly March 18, 2013

If you would like to improve your decision making skills, I have a quick RSA video that you really need to watch.

Maria Konnikova on decision making

The video is a presentation from psychologist, Maria Konnikova. Maria shares some great insights into decision making, mindfulness and observation – all wrapped up around the thought processes used by Sherlock Holmes. It’s a must watch, for anyone interested in learning more about how to make better, more rational decisions.

Maria’s presentation is engaging, enlightening, accessible and steeped in solid research.
