About the Topic
Science has a new way to get you into action on exercise, dieting and life-style changes. Risking money (staking) activates the survival circuitry in your brain that produces action. If you just flinched, that's a sign it'll work for you. People who risk serious money do what they promise 96% of the time (and if you keep your word it costs you nothing). Behavioural science says we're naturally loss averse - in this talk you'll learn how to leverage that for your own benefit.
