Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring

We are constantly making decisions. from everyday choices like whether to carry an umbrella, to complex issues involving risk, strategy, and long-term planning.

This Very Short Introduction explains how we make choices, exploring how we process information, learn from experience, and sometimes fail to make the 'right' decisions. Drawing on psychology, economics, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to reveal the hidden mechanisms of decision-making, it offers a guide to how we decide - and how we might do it better.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
