<p>When you're facing loss—say, in a board game or during a sporting event or with a declining stock—it can be difficult to remember your true tolerance for risk. You're likely to seek risk more than you normally would.</p><p>In this episode of <i>Choiceology with </i><a href="http://www.katherinemilkman.com/" target="_blank"><i>Katy Milkman</i></a><i>,</i> we look at a tendency to seek risk in the face of losses when those losses aren't yet finalized, but how chalking up those losses and moving on can actually help you recalibrate your appetite for risk.</p><p>During the <a href="https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/resource-library-american-revolution/" target="_blank">American Revolutionary War</a>, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/george-washington/" target="_blank">George Washington</a> and his generals often adopted a strategy of retreating, or accepting losses on the battlefield, in order to regroup and live to fight another day. Their strategy was often successful against the British, who burned through men and equipment as they doubled down in their desire to win individual battles at the expense of their goal of regaining control of the American colonies.</p><p><a href="https://www.marystockwell.com/about-me.html" target="_blank">Mary Stockwell</a> is a historian, writer, and former history professor at <a href="https://www.lourdes.edu/" target="_blank">Lourdes University</a> in Ohio. Her work is focused on the American Revolution. Her recent book is titled <a href="http://www.unlikelygeneral.com/" target="_blank"><i>Unlikely General: "Mad" Anthony Wayne and the Battle for America</i></a><i>.</i></p><p>Next, Katy speaks with <a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/faculty/directory/i/alex-imas" target="_blank">Alex Imas</a> about his research on risk-taking over time and how mental choice bracketing impacts our decisions in the face of loss.
