TL;DR
This Veritasium video dives into the perils and perks of overconfidence—why our brains love shortcuts, how the real Dunning-Kruger effect plays out, and what happens when we’re too sure of ourselves (think Nick Leeson’s rogue trades and a centuries-old bank’s collapse).
Along the way you’ll learn why a little unwarranted bravado can boost performance, why honest feedback is your best friend, and practical tips (plus a fun tabletop game) to help you calibrate confidence and avoid costly blind spots.
