CHOOSING IN THE DARK
Why we make poor decisions in plain sightBy REALLY PARABLES
Length1h 38m
About this audiobook
You have made decisions you cannot explain. You have stayed when you should have left, left when you should have stayed. You have sat on fences until the decision was made for you. You have overthought the small things and underthought the large ones. You have chosen, and been wrong, and not known why.
You are not alone. And you are not broken.
Choosing in the Dark is a book about why intelligent, well-meaning people consistently make poor decisions — and what faith, science, and hard-won wisdom reveal about how to choose better.
It is not a self-help book. It is not a theology text. It is something rarer: a serious, honest, wide-ranging examination of the most fundamental human act — choosing — from every angle that sheds light on it.
