Retrain Your Brain: Think like a Freak

In Knowledge@Wharton " ... Are you sure it is a bad idea to quit a job? In Think Like a Freak, Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt  (of Freakonomics fame) argue that we are often overly confident about what we think we know, and they recommend a way to think differently to solve problems and make decisions.

Wharton management professor Adam M. Grant recently interviewed Dubner about his new book when he visited campus as a guest lecturer in the Authors@Wharton series. In this interview, Dubner discusses why we should say, “I don’t know” much more often than we do. ... "   

 I largely agree, as long as we follow up to find out or connect with the best resource to 'know'.   Better yet, if we have the process, or algorithm, or analytics ready, and then get the data to derive the best  answer.
