Summary

Good decisions are hard to make - agreed? Whether it's deciding what kind of take-away to order, what brand of shampoo to buy, or what to do in a crisis, we've all been in situations where we panic or overthink.

And now, more than ever, we are in unfamiliar territory. Our routines and norms have been completely disrupted, replaced by stress and anxiety and making a good decision is harder than ever.

But this book is here to help. Behavioural Economist Dr Sheheryar Banuri will be your guide. By asking: What can we learn from past behaviour in similar crises? How does the psychology of decision-making change under stress? And how can we avoid making the wrong decisions? Good Decisions for Strange Situations is that fool-proof guide to help you give yourself the best possible chance of choosing wisely.

Common sense for uncommon times.

A nice short, topical listen including some great lessons and advice when it comes to decision making in the strange time we find ourselves in. With fantastic narration!

Recommend!!

This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the science behind why people behave the way that they do in times of crises (think panic buying, or ignoring social distancing measures), and for a guide on how to overcome the behavioural biases that stop us making good decisions in such uncertain times.

It is engaging, insightful, and accessible throughout. Great narration, and particularly relevant in current times.
