Behavioural – and financial – economist Evan Lucas joins the podcast to discuss:

  • Why the world is ‘excitingly risky’ right now
  • How to improve your cognitive architecture
  • Why you should be asking ‘what’s the point?’ and
  • The surprising habit that dramatically improves your chances of success, and

How to adapt your thinking and your habits if you think the proven methods are too cheesy to work for you.
