Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work by Chip Heath, Dan Heath
3.0
This book didn't teach me how to be more decisive but it definitely sparks my attention at the way I prepare to make decisions. The good decision doesn't guarantee success, however, the chances for success are higher.
I liked:
* Narrow Framing issue - most of the time the choice we have is not A vs B, because it could be A plus B plus C, or even option D.
* Tripwires for dealing with overconfidence. We're optimist most of the time, and having tripwires like: "I'll do X if Y is below Z" might prevent the bigger issue
* Partitioning - when you see a problem in much higher detail, it will force you to focus more on the problem in hand and there's a higher chance that your decision is going to be better
* WRAP process:
* W – Widening your options.
* R – Reality testing your assumptions.
* A – Attaining distance before deciding.
* P – Preparing to be wrong.
