Lecture: "Optimal Decision Making in Everyday Life"
Speaker: Dr. Lawrence Ian Reed

Join us for a captivating evening with Professor Lawrence Ian Reed as he delves into the fascinating psychology behind how we make decisions.

Decisions, decisions… Every day we are mired in them. Some have huge consequences and can be paralyzing. Others are small and made with little reflection at all.
For example, you’ve just seen your first apartment in the city and it was amazing. Should you take it on the spot or hold out for something better? You’ve got a 10-page paper due that’ll take several hours and a problem set that’ll take 30 minutes. Which should you tackle first? You’ve been with your boyfriend for 2 months. Should you add him as your “plus 1” for a gathering 3 months from now? It turns out there is not just a good answer to each one of these questions, but an optimal answer. Here, we discuss how and why so that you can live your life as optimally as possible.

Dr. Lawrence Ian Reed is a renowned psychologist and professor at both NYU and Columbia University, with clinical training from Harvard University. His expertise in human behavior makes this a lecture you won’t want to miss.

Don’t miss the chance to learn how to navigate life’s decisions with precision and insight.
