“A lot of people often think of rationality as actually about removing your emotions entirely, but I disagree with
that because emotions are what ultimately make us human...
To be truly rational, we have to learn to work with our emotions— not completely eradicate them.’”
- Liv Boeree
My guest this week is Liv Boeree— a magnificent thinker, writer, and speaker.
Liv is one of the most successful professional poker players of all time (she is the only woman in history to win both the World Series of Poker and European Poker Tour Championships). On top of all that, she also just happens to have a degree in astrophysics.
She’s an all around fantastic person to have a conversation with, and was particularly great at answering this week’s question from Kent Wilson from Nashville, Tennessee.
Kent asked, “When does data-backed decision making begin to have a negative impact on the creative process?”
Liv and I get into a great discussion on what constitutes analytical thinking, what the difference is between science and art, and how to listen to your intuition and balance that with data, and logic with reason.
So much of creativity nowadays is further and further integrated with data and analytics, and Liv has some great insight on when data is valuable and when you should just go with your gut.
