Episode description

Steven Johnson's made a career of cracking complicated topics, having written 11 (!) books that unpack everything from neuroscience to the origins of good ideas. In this episode, he and Clay dig into Johnson's most recent, Farsighted, which deep-dives into the secrets of making long-term decisions—the type that will affect your life 5 (or 25) years from now. Their conversation covers all the big stuff: the key to good judgment (and how to develop it), why showers are so helpful when making choices, and how A.I. will change the way we make decisions forever.
