The 5 Best Books on Decision Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work by Chip and\u00a0Dan Heath<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chip and Dan Heath discuss how individuals can make better choices by understanding the factors that contribute to poor decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heath brothers identify four decision traps that lead to bad choices: sunk cost fallacy, confirmation bias, endowment effect, and overconfidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sunk cost fallacy is the belief that we should continue investing in something as long as we have invested so much in it in the past, regardless of whether or not it is currently beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation bias is the tendency to look for information that confirms our preexisting beliefs, rather than considering all available evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The endowment effect is the belief that we should value something more simply because we own it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And overconfidence is the mistaken belief that we are better at making decisions than we actually are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heath brothers offer a number of strategies for overcoming these decision traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
