Make Better Decisions
Book • 2022
Make Better Decisions presents a practice-oriented approach to improving judgment in the digital age through 50 'nudges' drawn from behavioral science, cognitive science, design, and related fields.
The authors argue that decisions are best improved via repeated practice rather than a fixed step-by-step process and emphasize combining human judgment with data and AI. The book highlights metacognition, explanation, sketching, and other techniques to notice when automatic thinking helps or harms decisions.
It includes insights from conversations with leading researchers and practitioners and practical exercises to apply the nudges.
The work aims to make better—not perfect—decisions more achievable in complex, modern contexts.
