Decisive
1. You encounter a choice
2. You analyse your options
3. You make a choice
4. Then you live with it

12. Chip & Dan Heath
Decisive
Narrow framing means you miss options
Confirmation bias leads you to gather self-serving
information
Short-term emotion often tempts you to make the
wrong one
But you are overconfident about how the future will
unfold

13. Tim Harford
Adapt
The three essential steps are: to try
new things, in the expectation that
some will fail; to make failure
survivable, because it will be common;
and to make sure you know when you
have failed…

14. Chip & Dan Heath
Decisive
1. Think of opportunity cost;
2. Consider a range of options
simultaneously;
3. Find someone who has solved your
problem;
4. Run experiments;
5. Prepare to be wrong.
