Michael Mauboussin
Chief investment strategist for Legg Mason Capital Management
Adjunct professor of finance at Columbia Business School
Georgetown University alumnus
and author of
Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition |
In a groundbreaking new book, Michael Mauboussin examines a paradox of critical
importance to decision-makers everywhere: Why is it that the correct process for
making good decisions – especially when stakes are high – clashes with how the
mind actually works? Follow the author as he explores the disconnect and
outlines creative – and often counterintuitive – strategies to override the
conflict and help you THINK TWICE. Michael’s presentation, punctuated by
colorful stories from business, sports, science and the everyday, promises to be
instructive and entertaining. The takeaway: New insights into common “decision
traps” that can open the way for you to make smarter choices in every aspect of
your life.
Michael’s last book,
More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in
Unconventional Places, has been translated into 8 languages and was named best
business book by BusinessWeek and best economics book by Strategy+Business. A
riveting speaker, he’s known for his original research – and an innovative
teaching style that’s been profiled in The New York Times and The New Yorker and
on 20/20. |
