Wise Decisions: A Science-Based Approach to Making Better Choices

"Wise Decisions is a science-based approach to embedding timeless wisdom in adolescents, young adults, and adults. In a span of 15 minutes, we can make ten or more small decisions. Some decisions are inconsequential, and others can change the trajectory of our lives for years. Just as success in business depends on the decisions made, so also does enduring success in our personal lives. Decisions can be wise or foolish, considered or automatic, conscious or unconscious, emotional or rational, reasonable or unreasonable. Because so much is riding on the decisions we make throughout life, this book puts the decision-making process under a microscope with the intent of better understanding how wise decisions are made. Wise decision making is an acquired competency that takes targeted, repeated investment of energy over time to achieve proficiency. Nothing short of the success of our lives and the lives of the children we are fortunate to influence depend on it. The goal of this book is to equip readers witha concrete, science-based method to help them achieve timeless wisdom in their everyday decision making--for a lifetime."--
