Episode Synopsis

Ever wonder how stupid people get such important jobs? It might be down to overconfidence. We all assume we’re better at our jobs than others. In this episode, best-selling author Will Storr and I look into the science behind overconfidence. We cover the confirmation bias, status, capitalism, communism, and why 100s of my listeners say they’re above-average cooks.
