The truth about making smart decisions

---

Think quickly. Should you buy this book? You have to make a decision. Every minute of every day, you are making a series of small decisions that could change the course of your career and your life. Our lives are the sum of our decisions. Your success is largely a result of the quality of your decisions.

Have you given any thought to how you make decisions? This book won’t keep you from making stupid decisions. Alas, it won’t offer you a life without regret or buyer’s remorse. It will help you step back from the heat of decision making and think about how you approach decision making. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the leading researchers in the fi eld of decision making, including Paul Schoemaker, author of Decision Traps and Winning Decisions, Howard Kunreuther, co-director of the Wharton School’s Risk and Decision Processes Center, and Jerry Wind and Colin Crook, authors of The Power of Impossible Thinking. I have learned a great deal from them about making decisions.

I wish I could say that all this good schooling has kept me from making absolutely disastrous decisions, but I’d be lying. I’ve walked away from a stable job to start a business (turned out to be a pretty good decision). I’ve moved 2,000 miles from Pennsylvania to Colorado with a St. Bernard and three kids and back again in one year (a disaster but a fascinating adventure as well). It is a decision I’d make again in a heartbeat because it was for the sake of family. So the little knowledge I have hasn’t kept my tail out of the fi re. But the way I think about and approach decisions has changed.

There is no simple formula for decisions, but we can become better at making them. No decision is perfect, but often doing nothing is worse. The time to act is now. On the following pages are a series of sharp insights that will give you new ways of thinking about your decisions. There are no shortcuts or machines to make decisions for you. You just need to dig in, open your eyes and get to work. I hope the following truths about decision making can help you in making your own tough decisions.
