Book excerpt: Decision is a single mental action that has the power to change any personal problem. The certain decisions have the potential to provide you an immense success. All the people who learned and mastered decision making are very successful in everything they do. They differ from others because they are capable of changing the circumstances around them within a very short amount of time, just because they make the right decision at the right time.Decision making is not just important in your business, but also in every other area of your life. This force affects your whole life, your relationships, family, social life and also physical and mental health. Like any other mental ability, you can also develop your ability of decision making. You have to do it by yourself, through unwavering discipline and proper understanding of the power of this force.The best way is to learn to listen to your gut feelings, your inner voice that knowing place inside you that is called your intuition. In many cases, our parents taught us to rationalize, to think and analyze all the facts then crunch the numbers and make a decision. Sometimes that works but if you talk to highly successful people, they all rely to some degree on their intuition. They seem to know when it is time to go by the book or go with the flow. Flow has more fluidity and has more flexibility to move, change and morph into the best of the best. Our natural innate energy exchanges blend with other energies to become the best idea, the best solution or the best something. When rules and limitations come into play, the flow is restricted. Limitations and excuses try to sneak their way into the decision.By allowing your intuition to blossom and interact with the flow, the flow increases and widens, providing even more opportunities. The natural rhythm and order of things becomes more synchronous and the decision seems to emerge rather than having to be wrestled with. New inspiration is birthed and more and more energy pours into the flow. You seem to know exactly what to do and when to do it.Decisions become more of an art than an agony. As you listen to that inner you, you are automatically steered in the right direction. It's like you've got this eagle, high up in the sky, telling you what is ahead so you can move in the right direction and be ready when it get here.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Description: Life can be messy and obscure, but your decisions don't need to be complicated. By understanding how you've been influenced, what you think and believe, and then by choosing your priorities, you can set up a Decision Point framework that reveals who you are and how you will respond to life's messy challenges. In this way the decisions you make, make you. Whether you lead yourself, your children and family, your team, your company or even your nation, if you are teachable, Decision Point will bring clarity to your decision-making. Topics Covered: Frame of Reference - The External Influences What is a "good" leader? How do I lead by example? Where do I lead from? What do I concentrate on? What beliefs determine my actions? Who do I learn from? How much does my opinion count? Why is this the way we do things? Decision Points - The Internal Choices Who do I want to impact? Who will I respect? Will it be about me? Will I put people or finance first? Is it only about the here and now? Who will I focus on serving? What kind of role model will I be? Will I be teachable? How can I be authentic? Will manipulation be one of my tactics? Will I act from conviction or do I need to be right? Will I go with the flow or stand on principle? What if my decisions are unpopular? Will I prioritize personal growth? Where does gut-feel fit in? Will I strive for excellence? How firm will my commitments be? How do I outlast the stresses and pressures? How will I crack the whip? In my team, where do I fit in? How focused am I on communicating my goals? How will I deal with conflict? Some reviews for Decision Point: "This will definitely add value to whoever reads and applies the Q&A section, especially in their business environment." - Alexi Prodromou, Sales Director "I wish I had read this before some leadership decisions I had to make but now I have a good reference on how to improve from here onwards." - Danielle Sparrow, Engineering Student "In our current times of chaos and turmoil, the foundations that this work will lay for people in their lives (everyday as well as work) are sorely needed." - Beryl Donkin, Minister (retired) "The notion of foundational decisions that influence other decision points was profound for me. It reminded me to carefully choose my core values/beliefs on which all other areas of my life and leadership are built." - Abraham Mosimi, Finance/Compliance Coordinator "I believe that Decision Point will be displayed among the titles of many other great books on leadership that have been written throughout the decades." - Angelique du Toit, Author and Inspirational Speaker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a time-tested approach to making good decisions Do I go to graduate school? Whom should I marry? Should I change careers? What do I do with my life now that I'm retired? All of us have important decisions to make—decisions that radically alter our lives. Yet without a sound process in place for making key decisions, we are likely to question whether or not our final decision was a good decision; more to the point, we will never feel fully confident that our decision was what God truly desired for us. What's Your Decision? presents a time-tested, trustworthy approach to decision making based on the insights of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits and the author of the Spiritual Exercises, one of history's most influential spiritual texts. Throughout this fast-moving and highly practical book, the authors present an "Ignatian toolkit" for making sound choices and provide answers to many common questions such as What's important and what's not when it comes to making choices? Do I trust my gut? What do I really want? Ultimately, What's Your Decision? helps us understand that a God decision always precedes a good decision: When we invite God—who cares deeply about what we do—into the decision-making process, we find the freedom to make the best choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to use the unexpected discoveries of neuroscience to help us make the best decisions Since Plato, philosophers have described the decision-making process as either rational or emotional: we carefully deliberate, or we “blink” and go with our gut. But as scientists break open the mind’s black box with the latest tools of neuroscience, they’re discovering that this is not how the mind works. Our best decisions are a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason—and the precise mix depends on the situation. When buying a house, for example, it’s best to let our unconscious mull over the many variables. But when we’re picking a stock, intuition often leads us astray. The trick is to determine when to use the different parts of the brain, and to do this, we need to think harder (and smarter) about how we think. Jonah Lehrer arms us with the tools we need, drawing on cutting-edge research as well as the real-world experiences of a wide range of “deciders”—from airplane pilots and hedge fund investors to serial killers and poker players. Lehrer shows how people are taking advantage of the new science to make better television shows, win more football games, and improve military intelligence. His goal is to answer two questions that are of interest to just about anyone, from CEOs to firefighters: How does the human mind make decisions? And how can we make those decisions better?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a gap in the U.S. foreign policy textbook market, this innovative introduction shows students how real American foreign policy makers make real decisions. Drawing on and summarizing a vast amount of literature, author David Patrick Houghton introduces students to three basic theories of decision-making. He then applies each of these perspectives to six well-known historical cases that range from classic to contemporary: the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, the Iran Hostage Crisis, the Kosovo War, and the Iraq War. Houghton uses the crucial "decision points" of these events to give students a sense of what it is actually like to make high-level decisions. He also shows how the theories discussed in the book can be applied to these case studies. Featuring a direct, accessible writing style, coverage of recent advances in the field--including new psychological models like prospect theory and poliheuristic theory--and an affordable price, The Decision Point: Six Cases in U.S. Foreign Policy Decision Making serves as a perfect text or supplement for courses in U.S. Foreign Policy and Foreign Policy Decision-Making.
