  • Summary

    This chapter provides some perspectives on decision-making and the role that it should play in your life to be most useful. Specific topics concern the misnomer of “objective decision-making, ” the inappropriateness of trying to optimize your decisions, the appropriate amount of time you should spend making decisions and how that time should be allocated, the importance of avoiding poor life-limiting decisions, the implications of your decisions on an untimely death, and how being spontaneous and enjoying your life fits in with your decision-making. There is also a summary of the types of personal nudges that you can create and use to guide you to make better decisions.
