Summary
Are you overwhelmed with information and paralyzed by pressure? Constantly missing opportunities because your intuition is wrong? You can't just rely on your gut instinct or "hunch" when you make decisions. There's a science to improving your critical thinking, weighing pros and cons, and avoiding the traps that take you down the wrong path. We can systematically make decisions that will improve our lives if we just know what to focus on. Learn why most of our instincts about decisions are flat-out wrong.

Are you indecisive?
I’ve struggled for years with making quick, “simple” decisions. What should have been “easy” nearly always morphed into “complex”. This was not a problem at work where it’s always clear to me what tack to take. It was everyday life that I found most challenging.
Peter’s book gives many easy techniques for reaching intelligent decisions - I’ve found nearly all of them helpful. Often we make life harder for ourselves with by utilizing ineffective decision making habits. I highly recommend “The Science of Intelligent Decision Making”. Knowing how to make wise decisions is energizing & motivating.
