Annie Duke was a World Series of Poker champion who became a best-selling author of books such as How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices.
Tim Ferriss interviewed her and Duke shared how “poker had taught her to disconnect failure from outcomes. Just because I lose doesn’t mean I failed, and just because I won doesn’t mean I succeeded—not when you define success and failure around making good decisions that will win in the long run. What matters is the decisions I made along the way, and every decision failure is an opportunity to learn and adjust my strategy going forward. By doing this, losing becomes a less emotional experience and more an opportunity to explore and learn.”
