Moral decision making : how to approach everyday ethics [sound recording] / by Martin, Clancy,1967-(CARDINAL)461864; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Course guidebook Includes bibliographical references.Lecturer: Professor Clancy Martin, University of Missouri-Kansas City.What does it mean to live a good life? If we want to live ethically, it stands to reason that our daily habits and overall goals must align themselves with a certain moral code. Is it ethical to pursue money, property, and social status? Do we have a moral obligation to give to charity, take care of our aging parents, or shop locally? Where is the line between personal freedom and societal good? Moral Decision Making: How to Approach Everyday Ethics offers you the chance to reflect on some of the most powerful moral issues we face--as well as providing a framework for making the best decisions that will lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. Over the course of 24 thought-provoking lectures, Professor Clancy Martin of the University of Missouri-Kansas City introduces us to a variety of ethical "case studies"--the kind of difficult situations we have all faced at some point--and he shows us how great thinkers, from Socrates to Nietzsche to Bonhoeffer, approached similar problems.

The mind within the brain : how we make decisions and how those decisions go wrong / by Redish, A. David.(CARDINAL)652893;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-363) and index."In The Mind within the Brain, David Redish brings together cutting edge research in psychology, robotics, economics, neuroscience, and the new fields of neuroeconomics and computational psychiatry, to offer a unified theory of human decision-making. Most importantly, Redish shows how vulnerabilities, or "failure-modes," in the decision-making system can lead to serious dysfunctions, such as irrational behavior, addictions, problem gambling, and PTSD. Told with verve and humor in an easily readable style, Redish makes these difficult concepts understandable. Ranging widely from the surprising roles of emotion, habit, and narrative in decision-making, to the larger philosophical questions of how mind and brain are related, what makes us human, the nature of morality, free will, and the conundrum of robotics and consciousness, The Mind within the Brain offers fresh insight into one of the most complex aspects of human behavior"--

Decisive : how to make better choices in life and work / by Heath, Chip.(CARDINAL)280807; Heath, Dan,1973-(CARDINAL)280806;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-256) and index.The four villains of decision-making -- Widen Your Options. Avoid a narrow frame ; Multitrack ; Find someone who's solved your problem. -- Reality-Test Your Assumptions. Consider the opposite ; Zoom in, zoom out ; Ooch. -- Attain Distance Before Deciding. Overcome short-term emotion ; Honor your core priorities. -- Prepare to be Wrong. Bookend the future ; Set a tripwire -- Trusting the process -- Clinic 1: Should a small company sue a bigger competitor? -- Clinic 2: Should a young professional move to the city? -- Clinic 3: Should we discount our software? -- Overcoming obstacles.The authors introduce a four-step process designed to counteract the biases that inevitably creep into the decision-making process. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We are overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that does not. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings does not fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better? In this book the authors, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. It takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star's ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO's disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions. Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don't overlook precious opportunities to change our course? This book offers strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.
