The Decisions We Live By: A Practical Guide for Wise Decision Making and a Happier Life

"Happiness is, in large part, the result of a few key decisions made at strategic points in our life cycle. In this book, Dr. Bierbaum describes the “decision points” that define our lives and produce ripple effects in the lives of others. He proposes a formula for making decisions that are practical in their application. Drawing upon a wealth of real-life experiences, he leads the reader to discover where key decision points have occurred in their own lives to predict those that yet lie ahead and to develop strategies for making wise decisions.
