Why do intelligent people give money to self-proclaimed psychics
or get sucked into Ponzi schemes? Why are most of us so bad at
judging risk? Journalist, psychologist and professional poker
player Maria Konnikova, PhD, author of the “The Biggest Bluff” and
“The Confidence Game,” talks about why anyone can fall for a con,
the psychology of risk, and how her knowledge of psychology did—and
didn’t—help her at the poker table.
