Decisive1. You encounter a choice

2. You analyse your options

3. You make a choice

4. Then you live with it

Chip & Dan Heath

DecisiveNarrow framing means you miss options

Confirmation bias leads you to gather self-serving information

Short-term emotion often tempts you to make the wrong one

But you are overconfident about how the future will unfold

Tim Harford

Chip & Dan Heath

Decisive1. Think of opportunity cost;2. Consider a range of options

simultaneously;3. Find someone who has solved your

problem;4. Run experiments;5. Prepare to be wrong.
