From the Inside Flap

There are many books on decision making, many of them written by esteemed psychologists, managers, behavior scientists, statisticians, and even Nobel laureates; however, these books are written from a specific angle. They are dry on the personal side and sometimes too complicated even for academics.
This book is a personal journey through the process of decision making and a practical guide to help you understand:
  • On what basis people do make decisions?
  • Why do we prefer one choice over another?
  • Why and when do we choose in?
  • Why and when do we choose out?
Are you having difficulty making decisions? This book will guide you through the decision-making process. By the end of this book, you will know what factors you should consider while making any decision and be able to evaluate the outcomes and overcome your limitations.
You will learn how to make balanced decisions, and how to make a great decision based on your principles and values, not someone else's. You will get tools, tables, and examples to help you make decisions in your daily life, relationships, work, and investments.
The book is formed of three sections and 11 chapters:

Section one will discuss the pre-decision stage and is formed of five chapters.

· Chapter 1 will explain why we struggle to make decisions, and which parts of us are involved in making the decision.
· Chapter 2 will explain the hard internal factors that determine our decisions.
· Chapter 3 will explain the soft internal factors that determine our decisions.
