Decision making

[Graziana]

The subject interests me a lot. I'm going to read this book soon.

I think this is a great read for anyone who wants to improve their decision-making skills and learn from their professional and personal mistakes.

Lehrer helps the reader understand the value of instincts, but he doesn't stop there. He also helps show when, how and why instincts and emotions lead us astray, even in seemingly dispassionate scenarios. By extension, How We Decide is a guide to mitigating our personal shortcomings before we let them affect our decisions.

I really like books about how our brains work, and this has been a pleasant addition to those I've read to date

Just began to read it, and am loving it. Such an interesting neuroscientifically view of life and the human brain.

Just finished it and had the time of my life reading it. I stopped after each story to tell my husband what I'd just read. Probably a sign that it was a good book.

Well put Andrew! This is what I thought as well.

it was a good read, though i found the parts about football and poker a little slow. possibly because im so disinterested in both.

very good at making you think about how you think and will more than likely play a roll in future decisions i make.

i do however wish the book dealt more in the philosophical side of decision making such as, given what the author knows now, are we free or determined?
