Recommendation

Panic, fear, uncertainty – as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, these emotions can trigger a string of irrational decision-making. Data scientist Cassie Kozyrkov offers a more level-headed approach. As the head of decision intelligence at Google, she offers a systematic blueprint to help you reach rational decisions as you respond to the crisis. While the information is a tad simple for true “data nerds,” concerned laypeople will rest easier having a framework to help inform virus-related decisions moving forward.

Take-Aways

  • When reaching decisions – those related to COVID-19 or otherwise – avoid irrational thinking.
  • Let your personal ethics inform your goals.
  • List the actions you could take in response to the pandemic.
