Straight Choices: The Psychology of Decision Making (3rd Edition) is a comprehensive and accessible guide to understanding how people make decisions in everyday life, business, politics, and personal relationships. This updated edition explores the cognitive processes, biases, and psychological mechanisms that shape human judgment and choice.
Decision making is central to human behavior. From simple daily choices to life-changing decisions, our thinking is influenced by emotions, memory, experience, and mental shortcuts. This book examines how rational analysis interacts with intuition, and why people often make predictable errors in judgment. It provides a balanced view of both classical rational decision theories and modern behavioral research.
