Nick Maggiulli explores how the relentless pursuit of optimization, whether in finances, health, or daily decisions, can lead us astray from what truly matters. Using the Iowa Gambling Task as a metaphor, he reveals how life’s value often lies in its uncertainty and imperfections, urging us to prioritize meaningful progress over marginal gains.

Quotes to ponder:
"Once you remove the uncertainties of life, you can almost always find a better option that you could have chosen instead."
"It’s optimization all the way down."
"You start to live the life of a stranger. You eat the food of someone else, wear the clothes of not-you with kids that are more attached to their nanny than to you."
