Karla Starr who is the author of the new book, Can You Learn to Be Lucky? Why Some People Seem to Win More Often Than Others discusses how random events affect people in predictably self-defeating ways; the best way to cope with the world's chaos and constant change, and how we need to focus on improving the one thing we can control: ourselves.
When you can communicate numbers well, you can shock and amaze people. This book (and conversation) tells you how. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booksapplied/support
We humans are good at dealing with small numbers. So good, scientists have coined the word Subitizing to describe how we know small numbers as well as the back of our hand. The opposite is also true. We can't differentiate big numbers. We know that 10 to the power of 10 is bigger than 10 to the power of 9, but how much bigger? Even on hearing that they differ by a factor of billions, we stumble to gauge that kind of scale. This puts those of us who present numbers in a pickle. Historical greats like Florence Nightingale had a terrible time presenting her data to government leaders. She broke with convention, framing everything in terms of soldiers not statistics, to argue how to prevent needless deaths in military hospitals. The book in today's show explains methods used by her & others to convey numbers that the brain has a hard time grasping. Knowing tactics that worked for Florence, should at the very least help us convince management to approve our marketing initiatives. Since graduating with a BA in Psychology and Philosophy from NYU, Karla has written columns for Medium and appeared on NPR and CBS Sunday Morning. She has also written for many magazines and won an award for the Best Science/Health story from the Society of Professional Journalists. Her first book was Can You Learn to Be Lucky? Why Some People Seem to Win More Often Than Others. We're talking today about the second book Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers, with Chip Heath People/Products/Concepts Mentioned in Show Paul Slovik Steven Pinker Karla's newsletter The Starr Report on Substack.

How much bigger is a billion than a million? Well, a million seconds is twelve days. A billion seconds is… thirty-two years. As humans, we suck at understanding numbers. So as an entrepreneur, if you have a message to share that requires communicating numbers, the question is: How can you translate your numbers into something that people actually remember? Today's guest, Karla Starr, will teach you how. She's the co-author (along with NYT Bestselling author, Chip Heath) of “Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers.”
All of us use data. We use it to convince people at work, to decide which restaurant to go to, and where to invest our pension. But most of us don't think about how we share data. Turns out, the way you share data is almost more important than the data itself. In this show, Karla Starr explains how to make numbers memorable. Listen to learn how to improve your marketing, how to become more convincing, and Ronald Regan's major marketing mistake.

On this episode of Blurred Summits Abdul is joined by Karla Starr, an award winning science/business journalist and author of Making Numbers Count. They discuss the importance of making numbers easy to understand, how to communicate complex numbers, and much more! Follow the link for more of Karla's work: https://kstarr.com/
Have you ever looked at a numerical claim and thought ‘what on earth does that mean?' Complex numbers are often badly communicated, making it difficult for the public to appreciate what they signify - but dial things down too much and you're at risk of oversimplifying important issues. It's a tightrope walk authors Chip Heath and Karla Starr have explored in their new book ‘Making Numbers Count'. Tim Harford talks to them about how we can improve the way we communicate numbers to the general public. Producer: Lizzy McNeill (Image: Child in front of numbers, Credit: Getty Images)

When we look at the world through numbers, our brains can't always compute the full picture, says Chip Heath, co-author of Making Numbers Count. On this episode, this New York Times bestselling author (Made to Stick, Switch) shares how the right numbers told the right way can be absolutely illuminating. The trick is translating those raw numbers and stats into a language that is more transparent and meaningful, and, ultimately, easier for our brains to understand. Why is this important? Data drives decisions in our lives, as well as for society, whether that's tackling climate change, making capital investments, or urging for change. When employed correctly, those numbers can bring about powerful “a-ha” moments. GUEST: Bestselling author Chip Heath, Making Numbers CountAs an academic, strategist, and author, Chip Heath has spent his career helping people make their ideas and messages stick. He's the bestselling author, along with his brother, Dan, of several books, including, Made to Stick and Switch. Their books have sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 33 languages. His latest book, with co-author Karla Starr, Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers, provides practical tools and tips to help anyone “speaking” numbers to create more compelling messages and better engage with their audiences. Heath is a professor emeritus in the organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he has taught since 2000. He also has helped hundreds of clients develop ideas and messages that stick. He lives with his family in Los Gatos, California.

There's no doubt that luck plays a role in how successful we are in life, but the more we believe in luck, the less motivated we feel to proactively go after our goals. How do we navigate this paradox around luck — acknowledging the influence of chance but not letting it demoralize us? My guest today argues the answer lies in seeing life more like playing a game of poker than pulling the handle of a slot machine. Her name is Karla Starr and she's the author of Can You Learn to Be Lucky? Why Some People Seem to Win More Often Than Others. Today on the show Karla argues that no matter what hand you're dealt in life, there are still many things you have control over that you can influence to make your own "luck." We talk about how the things that come down to chance, like the timing of a job interview, how physically attractive you are, and whether you have more or less resilient genes can be influenced or counteracted by our own proactive behaviors so that more opportunities in life fall our way.

The Brainy Business | Understanding the Psychology of Why People Buy | Behavioral Economics
Today’s behavioral economics foundations episode is all about the optimism bias. I hope you’ve got your rose colored glasses, because here we go! This is one of those topics that has a name that makes it seem like you MIGHT know what it is…but you potentially don’t know for sure…and you probably don’t realize how much it impacts you and your customers every day. So, what is optimism bias? Essentially, this is our tendency to overweight the likelihood good things will happen to us, and underestimate the likelihood bad things will happen to us. This episode explores why we think this way and how understanding optimism bias can be used to improve our businesses. CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD! Show Notes [05:25] OPTIMISM BIAS - This is one of those topics that has a name that makes it seem like you MIGHT know what it is…but you potentially don’t know for sure…and you probably don’t realize how much it impacts you and your customers every day. [05:31] This is our tendency to overweight the likelihood good things will happen to us, and underestimate the likelihood bad things will happen to us. [06:34] It is important to note that optimism bias is not the same as being an optimist. And, if you consider yourself to be a pessimist or a realist…it doesn’t mean that you are not impacted by the optimism bias. It just might impact you a little bit differently. [07:08] Marriage is a great example of optimism bias. In spite divorce statistics, no one thinks that they are going to get divorced when they get married. [07:57] According to the CDC, 1 in every 4 deaths is due to heart disease, claiming 610,000 lives each year. Do you think the statistic will affect you? Your spouse? Parents? Close friends? Probably not. [08:36] We also think our children are uniquely talented and skilled – that they will grow up to change the world and do amazing things. [09:30] Tali Sharot said, “We are optimistic about ourselves. We are optimistic about our kids. We are optimistic about our families…but we are not so optimistic about the guy sitting next to us. And we are somewhat pessimistic about the fate of families in general and the fate of our country.” [10:08] Optimism bias means that deep down, ingrained in our DNA, we believe that we have a unique ability to do better and be better than everyone else. [10:40] Think about yourself and how you rank compared to the rest of the population in your ability to get along with others. Attractiveness? Honesty? Driving ability? Most people will rank themselves in the top quarter of the population on abilities and characteristics. (Even though that is impossible.) [13:16] Optimism bias is believing that you are uniquely going to do better than the odds. [14:01] What my social media followers said they were most interested in concerning optimism bias. [14:51] The first question is the over/under. At least 80% of us are impacted by optimism bias (but I say it hits everyone at least once in their lives). [15:36] For all the entrepreneurs listening – we are likely to be the serious optimism biasers of the world. We believe we can launch or create something no one ever has. [16:00] The “low expectations” theory - debunked. Turns out people with high expectations are happier than those with low expectations. [16:32] When someone with high expectations succeeds, they tie that back to their own abilities and traits. [16:55] When people with high expectations fail a test they think that they'll do better next time. [17:05] People with low expectations think if they fail it's because of something they are lacking. [17:26] Optimism and success are not just related – success is built on optimism. [18:06] People who use optimism and the optimism bias, who have high expectations, are happier. [18:23] However, optimism bias can cause people to make bad decisions and take bigger risk than they should. [19:21] Another way the optimism bias shows up in business is when we estimate how long something will take. [21:06] Why do we make to-do list with so many tasks that we'll never get through them? It's because our brains are anticipating the rewards after, and we are uniquely capable of getting those things done. [22:10] BIG TAKEAWAY: Let optimism bias guide your goals and dreams. Whatever those big goals are, fill them up with as much optimism bias as you can muster, because confidence will get you there. [23:22] Set corporate goals with optimism bias, but set realistic tasks for your staff. [26:16] My interview with Karla Starr, author of Can You Learn To Be Lucky? [27:28] When people treat you well you develop a stronger sense of self. (Examples from Sarah Palin and Brad Pitt.) [29:37] If you live as a confident person and think things will go well for you, (often) they will. [31:42] Formative years can instill how you believe about yourself. [33:09] Use optimism bias to your advantage to help you be lucky in life and business. [36:26] Join my Facebook live chat with Karla on February 13th - and ask your questions live! [41:16] Businesses will fall on either the light or dark side of this bias - and they need to market/message completely differently. Consider which side your business is on: light or dark? Make sure optimism bias works for you instead of against you. Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

We begin this episode by sharing these great travel secrets so you can put them to use on your next trip. http://www.egyptindependent.com//news/20-biggest-travel-mistakesCan you learn to be lucky?

Could it be true that overweight people live longer? Since like forever, we’ve all been told that being thin is what helps you live longer. But there does seem to be a loophole in the theory. While it’s not a reason to let yourself go and gain a lot of weight, having a few extra pounds can be beneficial and I will explain why. http://healthland.time.com/2013/01/02/being-overweight-is-linked-to-lower-risk-of-mortality/You make a lot of important - even life-altering - decisions in your life. But I bet you were never taught HOW to make a decision. Well, it turns out how you make those important decisions really matters. And there is a way to improve your chances of making the right decision if you have a better understanding of the decision making process.
