Quotes by Kayt Sukel (?)

“Rutgers neuroscientist Mauricio Delgado, who studies how emotions and stress affect risk-taking, will be the first to tell you that risk-taking is part of normal decision-making. And, for him, successful risk-taking is simply about being willing to explore alternatives.”
― Kayt Sukel, The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance

“Russ Poldrack, a researcher at UT Austin who studies risk and decision-making, tells me that a good risk-taker is never brash or reckless. “We often talk about impulsivity and risk-taking in the same breath. But they are clearly different,”
