The elements of choice : why the way we decide matters / by Johnson, Eric J.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Shaping choices -- Plausible paths -- Assembled preferences -- Goals of choice architecture -- Decisions by default -- How many options? -- Putting things in order -- Describing options -- Building choice engines -- Becoming better choice architects."A guide to the inner workings of how decisions are made-and an essential toolkit for helping others make decisions better. Plenty of books dwell on the faults in our decision-making or offer advice on how to make better choices. The Elements of Choice goes one step further, and explains how we can design better end-to-end decision-making processes. Going well beyond the familiar concepts of nudges and defaults, Eric J. Johnson offers a comprehensive, systematic guide to creating effective choice architectures, the environments in which decisions are made. Choice architecture is a multifaceted set of tools for anticipating how people make specific decisions. The designers of decisions need to consider all the elements involved in presenting a choice: how many options to offer, how to present them, how to account for our natural cognitive shortcuts, and much more. These levers are unappreciated, and we're often unaware of just how much they influence our reasoning. Johnson is the lead researcher behind some of the most well known and cited research on decision-making. He draws on his original studies and meta-analyses of decision-building findings to reveal how the structure of choices affects outcomes. This book will is essential for business people, policy makers, and anyone tasked with helping others make decisions. We are all choice architects, for ourselves and for others. Whether you're helping students choose the right school, helping patients pick the right health insurance plan, or deciding how toinvest for your own retirement, Johnson provides the tools you need to guide anyone to the decision that's right for them"--

"Add value with every decision using a simple yet powerful framework Few things are as valuable in business, and in life, as the ability to make good decisions. Can you imagine how much more rewarding your life and your business would be if every decision you made were the best it could be? Decision Quality empowers you to make the best possible choice and get more of what you truly want from every decision. Dr. Carl Spetzler is a leader in the field of decision science and has worked with organizations across industries to improve their decision-making capabilities. He and his co-authors, all experienced consultants and educators in this field, show you how to frame a problem or opportunity, create a set of attractive alternatives, identify relevant uncertain information, clarify the values that are important in the decision, apply tools of analysis, and develop buy-in among stakeholders. Their straightforward approach is elegantly simple, yet practical and powerful. It can be applied to all types of decisions. Our business and our personal lives are marked by a stream of decisions. Some are small. Some are large. Some are life-altering or strategic. How well we make those decisions truly matters. This book gives you a framework and thinking tools that will help you to improve the odds of getting more of what you value from every choice. You will learn: The six element of decisions quality, and how to apply them The difference between a good decision and a good outcome Why a decision can only be as good as the best of the available alternative Methods for making both 'significant' and strategic decisions The mental traps that undermine decision quality and how to avoid them How to deal with uncertainty--a factor in every important choice How to judge the quality of a decision at the time you're making it How organizations have benefited from building quality into their decisions. Many people are satisfied with 'good enough' when making important decisions. This book provides a method that will take you and your co-workers beyond 'good enough' to true Decision Quality"--"Aimed at executive and management-level decision makers in every industry, Decision Quality: Value Creation from Better Business Decisions provides a proven and real-world-tested framework for improving business decision quality"--

Wild problems : a guide to the decisions that define us / by Roberts, Russ,1954-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-207).Wild problems -- Darwin's dilemma -- In the dark -- This is serious -- The pig and the philosopher -- Flourishing matters -- Penelope's problem -- How to get over yourself -- Privilege your principles -- Be like Bill -- Live like an artist -- Summing up."From the host of EconTalk, a guide to decision-making when you can't crunch the numbers. Algorithms and apps analyze data and tell you how to beat the traffic, what books to buy, what music to listen to, and even who to date--often with great results. But what do you do when you face the big decisions of life--the "wild problems" of who to marry, whether to have children, where to move, how to forge a life well-lived--that can't be solved by measurement or calculation? In Wild Problems, beloved host of EconTalk Russ Roberts offers puzzled rationalists a way to address these wild problems. He suggests spending less time and energy on the path that promises the most happiness, and more time on figuring out who you actually want to be. He draws on the experience of great artists, writers, and scientists of the past who found creative ways to navigate life's biggest questions. And he lays out strategies for reducing the fear and the loss of control that inevitably come when a wild problem requires a leap inthe dark. Ultimately, Roberts asks us to see ourselves and our lives less as a problem to be solved than a mystery to be experienced. There's no right decision waiting to be uncovered by an app or rational analysis. Reality is harder than that and, perhaps, a little more interesting"--
