Hey guys, if you enjoyed this video please give me a thumbs up I would really appreciate it. Got ideas for future videos? Let me know in the comments below!

Risk-taking is a deep and complex area of decision-making, and we only scratched the surface in today's video. Some topics that didn't make the final cut:
- Was the response to COVID risk-appropriate?
- Risk preference is not a stable trait, it's context-specific.
- Some personality types are slightly more risk-seeking than others
- The importance of a safe space to own up to mistakes. If your company is run as TOO tight a ship, then people don't own up to their mistakes. That is riskier.
.
Thank you all so much for the support. Behavioral Economics and Behavioral Science is such a great evidence-based community to be a part of right now. What is really amazing is the ability for us to use insights from psychology for self-development and productivity purposes. Delivering actually scientifically backed advice that will legitimately improve your life, not just give advice based on opinion like many other productivity 'gurus' on the internet. Understanding HABITS is really key. There is so much misinformation about habits out there, and we have good data to justify why these poor pieces of advice are incorrect. If you want real tips on how to build strong, healthy habits and break unhealthy bad ones, subscribe to my channel for actual evidence-based advice. As well as lots of other fun and thought-provoking behavioral economics content! Thanks!
