About Dan Gardner
“One my favorite Substackers & current nonfiction authors” — Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
This newsletter is a Dan Gardner production. If that convinces you, fabulous.
If not, let me add that Dan Gardner — that’s me — is a New York Times bestselling author of a bunch of historically minded books about psychology, decision-making, risk perception, risk management, forecasting, and, most recently, project planning and delivery.
As complex as people are, how we navigate the world can be stripped down to something pretty simple: We draw on the past to make decisions in the present that we hope will pay off in the future. We can do that well or we can do that badly, and thrive or suffer accordingly. But however we do it, we will do it.
