478: Maria Konnikova | The Confidence Game
Maria Konnikova (@mkonnikova) shows us how we can defend ourselves against would-be con artists and use the same principles for more benign purposes in her new book The Confidence Game.
The Cheat Sheet:

What type of person becomes a con artist?
How can we avoid getting scammed?
