How We Decide

How We Decide - Jonah Lehrer This was an interesting and entertaining book about how human decision making is a combination of both logic and intuition. The book includes lots of data on various experiments that have been made in the past few decades. What I found interesting is that although we pride ourselves on using a rational decision making process, often going with a 'gut feeling' produces a better outcome. Although the experiments and the story were interesting, this is not a self-help book and there isn't very much advice on how to make better or faster decisions.
