About
Gerd Gigerenzer explores why people often fear the wrong things, examining the psychological mechanisms behind risk perception and decision-making. Through his work at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, he investigates how humans assess threats and make choices in uncertain situations.
His presentations, including his TED-Ed talk, challenge audiences to reconsider their instinctive responses to perceived dangers and understand the gap between actual and perceived risk. Gigerenzer's insights help people recognize when their fears may be disproportionate to real threats, offering a more rational framework for evaluating risk in daily life and organizational contexts.
