Episode Notes - Certainty vs. ConfidenceTopic: Certainty vs. Confidence: Exploring the Importance of BeliefGuest: Doctor Mort OrmanKey Points:True certainty in the real world is impossible.We can create a sense of certainty within ourselves, but this can be an illusion.A well-crafted illusion of certainty can be empowering and lead to confidence.Confidence is more important than absolute certainty for success.People's behavior towards you is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, not just their self-esteem."Either/or" questions can be misleading. Look for nuance in situations.Memorable Quotes:"We don't have true certainty in the real world, but we can invent the concept of certainty and live in that concept...""People treat you exactly how they feel about themselves... I think as a general statement, it's likely to be true most of the time, but I don't...""It's a complicated question. I'm sure it makes it too simple. It simplifies something that's a lot more complex...""When you posit it as an either or, you've lost the game right there. Because it's hard, you can't answer the question because it's questions not formulated properly." 1.
