N2  - Decision making cuts across all human activities. Yet we rarely study much less apply the fundamental thinking processes that should be undertaken before we make important decisions. Most of us can't stop our emotions from ultimately having more sway than our rational deliberation. Dr. Howard has spent much of his career studying this struggle between instinct and logic, and provides insights as well as practical suggestions for improving the quality of our decision making.Dr. Howard describes the elements of high-quality decisions: proper framing, clear alternatives, appropriate information, considered preferences, and the logic necessary for an uncertain world. By understanding the critical distinction between decisions and outcomes, and using effective decision analysis tools, we can increase our clarity of action in the personal and professional decisions that shape our lives and organizations
