Veritasium dives into the wild world of overconfidence, calling it the most dangerous cognitive bias. You’ll see how our brains cook up Dunning–Kruger illusions, rely on mental shortcuts, and even discover when a little swagger can actually boost performance.
Along the way, we get real-life cautionary tales—Nick Leeson’s rogue trading fiasco and the fall of one of England’s oldest banks—to show why honest feedback is your best ally. Stick around for practical hacks to recalibrate your certainty (and a fun tabletop game to practice keeping your confidence in check!).
