#42 - How to "Win" at the Games of Life
Find all the other episodes and ask me a question here.
Episode 42 - This episode complements my YouTube video on the same topic: the countless daily 'games' we play, whether it's a game of chess, succeeding in your studies, finding a job, etc.
The video in question:
I start with an overview of game theory: what are the characteristics of a game? What reasons drive us to play? I also present the famous Prisoner's Dilemma.
I conclude by distinguishing between finite and infinite games and try to highlight the choices we sometimes have to play by our own rules, as well as questions that can be useful to ask ourselves daily to navigate it all.
As promised in the video, I conclude this episode by returning to the 'game' of my own studies and explain why, due to the rules of this game in particular, I didn't feel entirely deserving of becoming valedictorian at university.
Happy listening! 😃
