#Hustle #BeastMode #GetAfterIt These are all hashtags that I have been guilty of using from time to time.

As a huge fan of both the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and Elon Musk, I (and millions of other people across the globe) could barely contain my excitement once I heard that Musk would be appearing on the show last week, and it didn’t fail to live up to expectations with more than 10 YouTube views within 4 days of release, not accounting for the millions of podcast listens.

In life, we grow up thinking that the more of a good thing we get, the better. More money, more education, more friends. But too much of a good thing is not only too much, but can actually be bad for us and have debilitating consequences. In his book, The Paradox of Choice , psychologist Barry Schwartz asserts that sure, while having no choices tends to be undesirable, having too many choices can render us paralysed by choice and never fully committing to a decision we’ve made because we might w...

In poker, your bankroll represents how much money you’ve set aside exclusively to play. Former World Series of Poker champion, author and decision strategist Annie Duke says that you should always play within your bankroll.

By playing within your bankroll you’re less likely to fall victim to the sunk cost bias - our tendency ...
