The Flourishing Experiment

For the past two weeks, I have been doing a series on sharing sayings that could be getting in your way. I’m interrupting part three of that series to instead share a timely conversation with former professional poker player and ultimate decision-maker Annie Duke. Her book, How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices has been an extremely helpful tool for my husband and me when making family decisions. Naturally, I wanted to hear more about what Annie had to say after implementing her work already!

First things first: If you are able to vote in the U.S. election and have not voted yet, read these articles from Annie and then PLEASE go vote!

"Why We Assume What Went Wrong in the Last Election Will Go Wrong Now"

"Hoping for a lucky break in the pandemic could cost the US economy dearly"

If you have already voted, please consider sharing these articles and encouraging your friends and family to go vote!
