S2E8: 7 ways your brain is making you poorer - the invisible biases that hurt your financial decision-making | David Robson

Smart people make bad decisions all the time. That’s because intelligence (IQ) has no bearing on our ability to make rational, unbiased decisions. If you can be aware of your biases and investigate your intuitions then you will make better decisions which can have a profound effect on your finances. In this episode, David Robson, author of The Intelligence Trap, lays out the key biases stopping you from getting richer - and how to combat them.
