How Not to Be Stupid with Adam Robinson
When everything seems unbelievable it's still possible to predict trends and anticipate when major change will happen. But how can we not be stupid along the way?
About this Conversation
How can we embrace possibility, make sense of the world, and have fun, delight and enthusiasm while doing it?
Admired by thought leaders ranging from Warren Buffett to Tim Ferriss, Adam Robinson uses a unique approach combining game theory, systems thinking, Bayesian analysis, and behavioural economics to outthink markets as a global financial advisor.
Robinson also studied stupidity, and what he found became the outstanding foundations of a forthcoming book, "How Not to be Stupid".
“How Not to Be Stupid is loaded with good ideas, and appropriate warnings.”
Adam Robinson
Adam Robinson describes himself as a systems builder, wizard, shaman of global financial markets, manifester, do-gooder, alchemist, and embracer of possibility, amongst other things.
He is a chess master, awarded a Life Title by the United States Chess Federation, a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-founder of The Princeton Review.
One of his most important lessons to encourage is ways to have a great time, learning from his hero and penpal Warren Buffett who he realised always mentioned the word fun in interviews.
