Center for Applied Rationality

The Center for Applied Rationality is a nonprofit founded to give people more understanding and control of their own decisions and behavior. The techniques we teach are inspired by models of reasoning from probability and decision theory, combined with cognitive science research on how human brains actually work and how we can train ourselves to improve. We at CFAR turn those mathematical and empirical insights into everyday skills — how to make accurate predictions, how to avoid self-deception, and how to get your motivation where your arithmetic says it should be.
