I appreciate the skills the Center For Applied rationality instilled in me most every day.

>Ever made a mistake? Missed an opportunity? Of course; but what’s interesting is how cognitive scientists have found even highly educated and successful people to make predictable errors in judgement, and just knowing about these experiments often isn’t enough to prevent these mistakes. It actually takes practice to form new mental habits. At our workshops, you can learn about newly discovered failure patterns in human decision-making, and begin training to overcome them…

Think of it as martial arts for rationality. You know about things like the sunk cost fallacy, but they do workshops to make sure you recognize it when it's happening to you.

A great bunch of very skilled people. The personal advice helped me get over some hangups about procrastination.

I think it's a great foundation to help learn other skills, and asses what information will be valuable to you.
