| 520 | |a "In Worth the Risk, economist Allison Schrager shows why many of our fears about uncertainty are misplaced--and how these myths keep people from taking the calculated chances that lead to growth, mobility, and meaning. Blending economic history and behavioral science, Schrager traces how our tolerance for risk has changed, and why we've grown less willing to open a business, start a family, or even drive a car. Along the way, she draws lessons from unconventional risk-takers... revealing what they understand about preparation, odds, and resilience... Worth the Risk offers a practical way to assess uncertainty, make better decisions, and reclaim the upside of risk--so we can help build a more dynamic economy and live more fulfilling lives"--From dust jacket flap. | ||
