description: The four principles that can help us to overcome our brains' natural biases to make better more informed decisions -- in our lives careers families and organizations.In Decisive Chip Heath and Dan Heath the bestselling authors of Made to Stick and Switch tackle the thorny problem of how to overcome our natural biases and irrational thinking to make better decisions about our work lives companies and careers. When it comes to decision making our brains are flawed instruments. But given that we are biologically hard-wired to act foolishly and behave irrationally at times how can we do better? A number of recent bestsellers have identified how irrational our decision making can be. But being aware of a bias doesn't correct it just as knowing that you are nearsighted doesn't help you to see better. In Decisive the Heath brothers drawing on extensive studies stories and research offer specific practical tools that can help us to think more clearly about our options and get out of our heads to improve our decision making at work and at home.
