Stuck on a big life decision? Advice to help you decide

Stuck on a big life decision? Let’s talk about the psychology of decision making. Whether you're weighing up a job, relationship, starting a business or buying a house, big decisions have a way of keeping you stuck on the fence. In this episode I'm explaining why your pros and cons list is no help, and how your predictions of how happy you'll be depending on what you decide are wildly unreliable, and why we usually default to the status quo even if it makes us miserable rather than take a risk on the unknown.

If you're going around in circles on whether to make a change or take the plunge, tune in to hear which information you should discard and what to pay attention to if you want to come to a decision that gives you the best chance of satisfaction in the long term.

What you'll learn:

• Why change feels so hard, even when you want it
• The reason your pros and cons list is not helping you at all
• The science of predicting how you'll feel in the future (and how much we underestimate our own resilience)
• what happened when 22,000 people let a coin toss decide for them
• The decision making formula that is most likely to get you closer to an outcome you'll be happy with.
