Why Most People Fail at Decision-Making (and How You Won't)


Listen Later

Your decision-making process is the single most critical skill you’ll ever need. Figure out how to make good decisions that align with your values, and your life will become immeasurably better. Neglect this skill and your life can turn into a nightmare faster than a speeding bullet. So, how can you improve your decisions and, as a result, your life?

Despite what most people think, you can’t make better decisions by improving your logic or reasoning skills. Instead, you have to hone something most people neglect in the decision-making process: Emotions. 

In today’s show, you’ll discover why your emotions are the key to better decisions and how to better control your emotions. 

Listen now. 

Show Highlights Include:

  • How emotions you avoid “hijack” your decision-making process and can sabotage your life (1:59) 
  • Why experiencing your emotions, not avoiding them, makes them powerless over you (2:51) 
  • The “8 C’s” method for making sounder decisions that lead to a happier life (6:31) 
  • How to tweak your inner dialogue to make even the scariest of emotions less daunting (8:17)  
  • The “Name It” secret that prevents fear from dominating your decision-making process (16:18)
