Hey there, another insightful article as usual. I have to admit I have not come across the Secretary Problem before, so it’s a learning point for me.

Finishing up a book now which somewhat resonates with your topic: The Art of Clear Thinking: A fighter pilot’s guide to making tough decisions. It looks at another perspective of decision-making, when we have to make them under pressure. Perhaps you might find it to be a good read. Cheers!

Thanks for reading! Will definitely check out that book too, i love the realism in the premise. Especially in my career as a lawyer, I think people tend to evaluate decisions unrealistically, without being aware of the kind of pressures a decision maker tends to be put under.
