As anyone who bets on horses knows just too well, we are constantly faced with making a decision or multiple decisions, and we do this regularly and sometimes very well, but unfortunately far too often we make quite wrong decisions. Well apparently there is help at hand. The concept of making better decisions by paying attention to one's emotions and also to making rapid decisions after expending time on an unrelated activity, then making a quick decision, is more than of just passing interest.
From ABC Big Ideas.
In this compelling Commonwealth Club of California address, Lehrer maps out the latest cutting-edge research into how our minds work and how it shines light on HOW we make decisions...and also how we might make better ones.
You can obtain information from the Jonah Lehrer address shown on ABC 24 Big Ideas, or you can purcahse from QBD his book, "How We Decide", currently quite cheap by direct QBD on-line ordering.
