Why do smart people fall for obvious scams? There's something about human nature that makes us sitting ducks for con artists.
Emily Hitchcock joins me to discuss Maria Konnikova's The Confidence Game. We discuss why believing in human goodness makes us vulnerable, the 10-step con process + why authors fall for publishing scams.
Plus, why asking to pause any deal will reveal if you're being conned + the difference between good sales technique + sociopathic manipulation.
