Decisive : how to make better choices in life and work

Just making a decision can be hard enough, but how do you begin to judge whether it's the right one? This title focuses on decades of psychological research to explain why we so often get it very badly wrong - why our supposedly rational brains are frequently tripped up by powerful biases and wishful thinking.

  • ""Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We?re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn?t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn?t fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better? In Decisive, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style, Decisive takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star?s ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO?s disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions. Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don?t overlook precious opportunities to change our course?""
