This week, a ponderous diversion into the world of behavioural economics, with Economics Professor and Systema practitioner Rik Chakraborti. At first glance, you might not think that economics and martial arts have much in common. But in truth, both involve the resolution of internal conflicts, warring instincts and incentives, and a keen understanding of human behaviour.
Here, we get into:
Rik's attraction to Systema as an operating system
Varying motivations for training martial arts
How are choices reveal our underlying preferences
Setting yourself up for success in training and life
Enjoy!
