379. World Champion Poker Player Annie Duke talks about Knowing When to Quit

The Mentors Radio Show

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Annie Duke, a world champion poker player and best-selling book author. We are all too familiar with the phrase “you’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,” but how DO we know? How can we be sure? Annie Duke is a decision-making expert, a cognitive science expert and a former professional poker player with a PhD in Cognitive Psychology who knows a think or two about high-stakes decisions. As the best-selling author of “QUIT: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away,” Annie challenges the stigma around quitting and reveals how mastering this skill can lead to greater success and fulfillment in work in life. Her contrarian point-of-view provides a compelling argument for the virtues of quitting.
