Abstract

Decision making is a key psychological process. We make decisions every day and upon them our fate relies, in case of managers or politicians even hundreds, thousands or even millions of people.

Yet noone really teaches us how to decide well and many of us even believe we can't make good decisions, that we are indecisive or too irrational. Not even mentioning when decisions lead to major errors or unethical conduct.

This book gives scientifically sound and accessible review of current psychological knowledhe about decision making. It calls into question some of the myths about human ability or inability to make decisions.

It offers a new perspective on the purpose and goals of decision making as a process, that may lead to more well-being, if we master it. It revitalizes intuition, often forbiden in the cientific community, while in many respects effective decisional strategy.

Last but not least, the reader learns to apply new knowledge on her own decision making and learns how to improve own decisions
