Why People Are So Confident When They’re Wrong

Ever catch yourself 100% sure you’re right and then end up totally off base? This video dives into the root of overconfidence—think the real Dunning-Kruger curve, brain shortcuts that trick us, and why a little hubris can actually be handy… until it costs you millions (see Nick Leeson and a centuries-old English bank for proof).

Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom: you’ll learn why feedback is your best friend, how tabletop games (yes, games!) can rewire your confidence dial, and practical hacks for keeping that ego in check. Plus, stick around for the science cred from Professors Moore and Fischhoff and a sneak peek at a confidence-calibrating Kickstarter project.
