- Your decisions determine what work you do, how much money you make, who you spend your time with, your health, and ultimately, your happiness. Knowing when to use your intuition is key to decision-making success, but it's not magic -- it's science.
TEDxColumbusCircle (www.tedxcolumbuscircle.com) was produced by a team from Manhattan Productions (www.manhattanproductions.com), Womenkind (www.womenkind.net), Gender Fair (www.genderfair.com), and reimagine.world. Spencer is an entrepreneur and mathematician, with a goal of improving human decision making. He founded ClearerThinking.org, which offers free bias and decision making tools used by over 200,000 people, and Spark Wave, a startup foundry which creates novel software products from scratch, designed to solve problems in the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I learned the hard painful way. Trust me here, if you have a gut feeling, trust it and don't second guess yourself.
Don't second guess it. So so true.
Same here and it was a big heart break..
@@duf2 no, "second guess it" but do it logically (based on proofs and reasons) , although keep in mind that ALOT of times there are probabilities in logical thinking, science (true infos) + logic = truth
Just out of curiosity, what happened that allowed you to learn the hard way? If you dont mind my asking.
James Ryan What if someone’s “gut feeling” tells him to wash his hands hundreds of times per day?
i always trust my gut cuz its huge and full of wisdom
@@warw8976 It's not narcissistic to say you have a huge gut
@@warw8976 bruh he was joking lmao
war w LOL
Don't over think it. And DON'T talk yourself into something or try to justify it. You'll know what's best. A little of both.
Omg! At this moment my gut is in resistance! I'm fighting with my intuition and this video just popped up.
me too
wtf
Do not second guess yourself
Trust your first thought 95%of the time. There's a reason it's there.
Theres a reason we have a complicated brain system too, we r not animals..
@@ahmed38247 that complicated brain is the exact reason I said 95 and not 100.. I almost said 100. :-)
@@n.randall6152 im not gonna argue with that just bcoz i dont know the exact percentage but saying a number like 95% seems pretty odd to me, how could u calculate that, it seems so complicated since different ppl have different first thoughts based on the place they live in, their culture and alot of other factors
Not 94 or 96% but 95 huh?
@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding 95% , I have had to say.. Man why did I do that? But just a few times in my life.
Right video at right time thank u!!
THANK YOU
Speak up man! You've got a good voice, don't be afraid to use it!
Nah, his voice isn’t very good. Speaker’s voices must be on the deeper end and sound much more authoritative.
@@DiamondHunterMc he's obviously a bit nervous and insecure, people tend to speak higher while in that state
The best part of this video is reading the comments of all the people that haven't watched it.
Happy to know this information
This is one of the toughest things I have ever had to do. Was truly trust myself and my gut. And, when I did it has payed off dividends. (:
Intuition and survival are the most ancient and primitive instincts all humans and animals have.
Always trust your intuition from the first nanosecond.
Reflex, not an instinct.
@@anastasinscreed. Big difference between those two. And you obviously don't know what is instinct.
Always trust your gut feelings.
They are sounds from your soul.
Doesnt make alot of sense, even though i believe in soul.. How did u come up with that conclusion?
I find it so hard to trust my gut! This is refreshing x
My thoughts are always fire 🔥🔥🔥
It would be very interesting to study the " the gut feeling" deciding out come to specific situations among different types of people!
Information with in this talk life changer thank you 🙏
useful knowledge!
Thank you 🙏
I ignored my gut many times…. Not anymore. 😯
All Roads Lead Here Got heads.
Loved it
Excellent, well-organized, reasoned presentation.
@Cremasterr "Nope, ...wrong assumption" Is that supposed to be an argument? Here's my counter "argument:" Nope, your wrong. Neuroscience, a relatively new science, has given us some knowledge about how the mind works. You may not have any idea of how the mind works but some of us do.
@Cremasterr Purchase a good book on neuroscience and have someone read it to you.
I was actually thinking about this earlier tonight, I always feel that when i follow my gut I just have assumptions that are wrong and because I don’t see the full picture I look at people and situations way differently and don’t take feelings or thoughts into consideration. Making me a more angry and direct person instead of when I think deeply and reflect and can see something from both sides? I’m kinda stuck on that
GREAT TOPIC!
I MYSELF, RELY ON MY INTUITION & GUT INSTINCTS QUITE OFTEN, CAUSE IT NEVER FAILS ME!
I THINK THAT AFTER A WHILE, OUR MIND & GUT INSTINCTS SHIFT BETWEEN THE TWO SPONTANIOUSLY, & AUTOMATICALLY!
HOWEVER, THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT, THAT I FEEL A SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO THE SPEAKER TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THE ONLY THING ABOUT HIS SPEACH, IS THE WAY IN WHICH ITS DELIVERED!
THERE'S NOT MUCH ENTHUSIAM, SHIFT IN TONE OF VOICE, SOUNDS FLAT!
THE RIGHT DELIVERY OF ANY SPEECH IS KEY IN ORDER TO GAIN THE RIGHT ATTENTION OF ITS VIEWERS !
Very interesting and coherent talk. Do you have the link to the questionnaire on values?
Read alchemist by Paulo Coelho...it will definitely give u courage to follow your gut
Thanks ,yups i heard this before
One of the best anti- depression books ever. 26 years ago...still remember the feeling.
@@midheaven8991 isnt the point of this video is not to always follow ur gut? Idk about the book tho
Wow it's very nice
Tomorrow I have an exam in mcq pattern so I am watching this video
Perfect timing
Good luck
Just to let you know that you was talking really fast that I had to slow down the video, but I really appreciate this, thanks =)
It's a huge area which needs more studies, this guy has a good talk but I need more information about the guts decision. and I believe that most CEOs have very strong guts decisions.
reflecting back on that, my intuition excersizes. :)tells me the audience doesnt know deep breathing
Very much relevant for guys in their 20's....!
What about me? Im 17
@@DiamondHunterMc you can have ahead start! by listening to this!
Nice
Amazing content indeed. However, you could have got your point across more effectively had you worked on improving your body language. Words are powerful but they don't resonate with your body language.
Not everyone has to be a salesman
Ikr. All speakers have to be more AUTHORITATIVE and CHARISMATIC. This guy didnt have any charisma and was subdued while he spoke.
I am having gut feeling that this is not for me.
Intuition
For me it's usually the other way around, I've never been able to trust my gut feeling because it's almost always proven wrong for me. Analyse the facts and think clear
Perhaps it’s due to past traumas I have the same issue too.
....I totally had to watch this twice.
Take no thought
TEDx press 9 and go to end and lissen to the sometimes answer immediately
I also trust my gut but it’s because it’s full of food.
I havent talked to a certain girl for years and I asked her for her last name because I forgot and I just thought so hard about what her last name is and just couldnt figure it out. She got just a little mad because she knew my full name (I have 2 Names).
I told her if she knew my birthday and she didnt, but I, just by my gut feeling, I got her birthday on the dot.
She wasnt mad afterwards.
Pretty powerful and complicated topic, but i feel this video is kinda useless and i think it can be simplified to "listen to ur gut BUT think logically in serious situations (based on reasons and proofs)" which we already do
*Continue reading if u want an explanation as to why i simplified it that way*
there r 3 decision types
1- u have time to think and u care to think to make ur decision correct (then u obviously 100% will use system two)
2- u have time to think but u dont care enough to think to make ur decision correct (then u will obviously 100% use system one bcoz the decision is worthless so who cares, unless u want to waste ur time)
3- u dont have time to think and u care to make ur decision correct (then u have NO CHOICE but to 100% use system one so why feel bad about it?)
Edit: pretty out of topic but writing ur thoughts on a comment helps u to organize them so dont feel bad about it, its not a waste of time, it helps u to reach to the point and it might help other ppl too
THIS is one of the best comments I've ever read on CZcams. Nicely done. And it encourages others to think, and share.
For the record my initial gut feeling on this video, regardless of it's intent, it didn't feel good. Admittedly, at first it was something about this person's voice. T be fair I am wearing my fairly accurate headphones right now so it may have made me hyper-aware or something. Thank you for breaking it down.
@@JosephAlanMeador thanks, i hope ppl do think and share for everyone's benefits. in this time we're all connected through a 200g piece of technology and even a comment can potentially change someone's life due to the "butterfly effect"... If war can modify the language of a nation then the internet will probably unite the whole world in one culture/one law over an extended period of time

Of course we should trust the gut feeling. Just be careful not to call it stereotyping which is out of fashion at the moment.

كل عام وانتم بخير 🌹
The original idea was made by the psicologyst Daniel Kahneman inside of his book Thinking Fast and Slow, this man never gave him any acknowledge.
As someone told me, "Always trust your gut."
Wat zi faq
Usually Ted videos are insightful and interesting, but this one didn't provide anything novel.
THIS is what TED used to be
Before the liberal bs overran the content...
@@aimeethereseperhach1055
How do you categorise "BS"?
59×47=2773
You're welcome
Very funny, no one needs a Ted Talk to understand their gut decisions.
I have decided to not watch this video
You have also decided to do write this comment.
Uiop Is real indeed! We have something in common
in espanish?
En español lee el libro Piensa Rápido y Lento de Daniel Kahneman, es una idea original de este psicólogo pero este conferencista nunca le dió el crédito ni siquiera lo mencionó.
not first btw
Was this truely new in any way?
Truly
JunkDealer OK. I just did not feel that I learned anything I didn’t already know 😊
Next: When to Trust your President?!?! 🤔😏👍
Lol
I am the first
Never, rational thinking all the time
How do you know when you have enough data to make a decision? Or what data is relevant? You can spend infinite time collecting data and acting never.
Dude, take a breath! Great speech, poor delivery.
