Maria Konnikova On The Confidence Game – This Week's Six Pixels Podcast

Episode #523 of Six Pixels of Separation – The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.

One of the most fascinating writers on the scene these days is Maria Konnikova. She’s a regular columnist at The New Yorker who focuses on the intersection of psychology and culture.

Recently, she published a book titled, The Confidence Game, in an effort to unpack why we get fooled by others and how we deal with that when it happens. She’s also the author of Mastermind – How To Thnk Like Sherlock Holmes (which came out in 2013).
