Analyze Your Decisions

Cognitive behaviourist, Annie Duke, on becoming a better decision-maker.

“To figure out whether a decision is good or bad, you need to know not just the things that might reasonably happen and what could be gained or lost, but also the likelihood of each possibility unfolding.

That means, to become a better decision-maker, you need to be willing to estimate those probabilities.”
