Nuala Walsh on Tuning In

How can we make better decisions? By paying attention to good advice or information and ignoring the opposite. In a world where we're overloaded with data and opinions, it can be hard to determine what is good and what is bad advice.

My guest Nuala Walsh, is the author of a new book called 'Tune In! How to make smarter decisions in a noisy world'. In it, she highlights how we make decisions and the risks of using the wrong information to make them. What are the risks of mishearing, misinformation and misjudgement, and what can we do to pay attention to helpful inputs and ignore unhelpful ones?

In our discussion, we explore:

Nuala's unique expertise in behavioural science, investment, and consulting
How her book "Tune In" focuses on making smart decisions amid information overload
The significance of personal and professional stories in shaping decision-making
How Cognitive biases and 'decision friction' affect our judgment
The balance between intuition and deliberate thought in ethical decisions
Corporate speed in decision-making vs. the importance of careful deliberation
The 'trilogy of error'—blind spots, deaf spots, and dumb spots—in perception.
'Perimeter traps' that represent pitfalls in judgment and decision-making
Nuala's personal transformation through writing and its impact on legacy;
Practical advice on applying smarter decision-making in everyday life.

and much, much more.
