How To Make A Hard Decision: How To Arrive At Meaningful Choices And Implement Decisions With Steadfast Certainty
When the going gets tough, the tough don’t get going — instead, they stick around and decide how to solve the problem. Take America as an example. Back in the day, the country had to make some of the hardest decisions that shaped the world as we know it now. Hard decision #1: The US Congress decided to stand up against the British Monarchy and gained independence.
Hard decision #2: President Abraham Lincoln decided to declare a civil war and abolished slavery.
Hard decision #3: President Harry S. Truman decided to detonate the atomic bombs and ended WWII. Had America not decided on these things, the world would have looked very different. You don’t have to be a US politician to need to make hard decisions, though. In different stages of our lives, we would eventually hit that forked Should we quit our job and risk being unemployed? Should we stay in our unfulfilling work and wallow in misery? Should we end this relationship? Should we move to a different city? In 2021, economist and Freakonomics podcast host Steven D Levitt published a study on the impact of a coin toss on major decisions. People told by the coin toss to make a change are more likely to make the change and be happy with their decision. On the other hand, those who are told to stick with the status quo? Not as much.
The finding suggests that we'll be probably better off choosing change, but we are too overly cautious when we need to make a tough call. And that's totally understandable – life-changing decisions change lives – it's scary! But with our book, you’ll get the chance to pick the brains of the greatest decision-makers and learn from their experiences firsthand! You'll get to make decisions with confidence and without regret. By using tried-and-tested strategies, ANYONE can gather the information, knowledge, data, and wisdom needed to make hard decisions that leverage progress and success. Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside the … and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Various mental spotlights can cloud your judgment — from emotions and biases to rigid expectations. By using the simple tips and examples in this book, you will break free from the mental spotlight grasp and become a master decision-maker instead! The book offers exclusive access to the tools and methodologies that ensure rational decision-making that helps you prevent serious errors or consequences in the long run.

A good common sense primer
The book is well written, with both a set of steady situations to explore and anecdotal examples.
The frameworks explained are simple but useful.
It allows for some model to evaluate decisions even for the best.
