Decision Poetry - Paperback

by Erin Boyd (Author)

What if most of the decisions you make-big and small-aren't nearly as good as you think?

We assume we're rational, that our choices line up with our goals. But research and experience tell a different story: we cling to habits, chase vague ambitions, and let hidden biases steer us off course. The result is a life full of decisions that are comfortable, familiar...and quietly wrong.

There is a better way. Economics, when stripped of its cold reputation and seen in its true form, is not about numbers nor the "economy;" it's about choices, values, and meaning. Through this lens, decision-making becomes both practical and poetic: a framework that blends rational tools with the human elements of trade-offs, uncertainty, and imagination.

Better decisions aren't about eliminating uncertainty; they're about seeing differently. Decision Poetry gives you that lens. You'll learn to recognize the hidden forces that shape your choices, replace instinctive reactions with clarity, and uncover a framework that makes even the toughest trade-offs feel deliberate and confident. Drawing on the surprising beauty of economics, Dr. Erin Boyd turns decision-making into a skill you can master-one that helps you choose better in business, in life, and in every moment that matters.
