Through a blend of compelling exercises, illustrations, and stories, the bestselling author of Thinking in Bets will train you to combat your own biases, address your weaknesses, and help you become a better and more confident decision-maker. What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut. What if there was a better way to make quality decisions so you can think clearly, feel more confident, second-guess yourself less, and ultimately be more decisive and be more productive? Making good decisions doesn't have to be a series of endless guesswork. Rather, it's a teachable skill that anyone can sharpen. In How to Decide , bestselling author Annie Duke and former professional poker player lays out a series of tools anyone can use to make better decisions. You'll learn: • To identify and dismantle hidden biases. • To extract the highest quality feedback from those whose advice you seek. • To more accurately identify the influence of luck in the outcome of your decisions. • When to decide fast, when to decide slow, and when to decide in advance. • To make decisions that more effectively help you to realize your goals and live your values. Through interactive exercises and engaging thought experiments, this book helps you analyze key decisions you've made in the past and troubleshoot those you're making in the future. Whether you're picking investments, evaluating a job offer, or trying to figure out your romantic life, How to Decide is the key to happier outcomes and fewer regrets.

Great book with practical solutions
I just loved this book with practical solutions it gave on how to go about with decision making. We use all kinds of tools for decision making but they are outdated and inaccurate. What is told in this book if followed I think a person can improve their decision quality

This book could’ve been a blog post
I’ll be blunt. This book is written for low IQ people. It describes processes in ELI5 way. Maybe a lot of readers will benefit out of it and improve their decision making in life and otherwise. However, if you’re thinking you’re somewhat successful in life or have an IQ above 90ish, skip this. Read a summary somewhere. Don’t waste your time reading the whole book. Only thing I liked were the exercise of writing in between.

Recomendo para ampliar seu repertório de ferramentas.
Bom compêndio de ferramentas para você poder avaliar suas tomadas de decisões. Um conceito que gostei é a separação entre "Resultados de Qualidade" e "Decisões de Qualidade" que ajuda a pessoa ou grupo decisor entender melhor se já temos as informações suficientes e de qualidade para a tomada de decisão com qualidade, quanto também entender se aquela decisão acarretaria um resultado de qualidade. Combine este livro com outro livro chamado "Decisões inteligentes". Pode ser um complemento bom para mostrar para altas lideranças o seu racional para uma decisão específica que você pensou.

Hilfreich
Dieses Buch hat jemand geschenkt bekommen, der sich schlecht entscheiden kann und liebt dieses Buch, um dort immer wieder weiterzulesen oder nach Zufallsprinzip nachzuschlagen. Es ist qualitativ hochwertig und ich würde es wieder verschenken. Ich hoffe, meine Rezension war nützlich👍🏽

Thorough but concise
Great content, very practical, without flashy storytelling. Great references, sumups and checklists are very useful. I recommend, as for business as for personal life matters.

Un livre qui change les choses
Ma partenaire a toujours eu du mal à prendre des décisions. Pour son anniversaire, je me suis dit qu'il fallait que je l'aide d'une manière ou d'une autre. C'est en faisant mes recherches que je suis tombé sur ce livre et dès qu'elle l'a reçu, elle a commencé à le lire et à faire les exercices en même temps. Ça fait quelques jours qu'elle est sur ce livre sans relâche. Peut-être qu'elle va me quitter? Peut-être qu'elle va rester après avoir fini ce livre? Mais à la fin de la journée elle aurait pris des décisions. C'est un magnifique livre qui a réussi à l'aider à sortir d'une boucle de réflexion sans fin.
