An Evening with Haim Shapira

• What strategy should one adopt when choosing a partner?
• What are the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Blackmailer’s Paradox?
• How can negotiations be managed more intelligently?
• Game theory in social networks and the tragedy of the commons.

In a sharp, funny, and thought-provoking lecture, Dr. Haim Shapira opens a window onto the fascinating world of strategic thinking and decision-making. Game theory—a complex mathematical-economic field—becomes here a simple, useful, and precise language for real life: in relationships, careers, and every everyday decision.

We will delve into bargaining games and the art of negotiation, gain an in-depth understanding of the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the “Blackmailer’s Paradox,” and encounter the major ideas of Nobel Prize laureates John Nash and Israel Aumann.

Through up-to-date examples from current affairs, surprising stories, and clever exercises, we will learn how proper cooperation, advance planning, and understanding incentives lead to better outcomes—and to decisions that feel right.

You will leave with a practical framework for thinking, tools for managing conflicts and improving negotiations, and a proven way to shape life as a smart, enjoyable, and beneficial game.

Places are limited—don’t miss out.
