This work aims to describe ongoing research that examines real people making real decisions, and compares it with theoretical predictions to provide readers with food for thought when it comes to their own decision making and point out issues that await further research.

Recenzje

"This is a good short introduction to some of the issues involved in decision making and will be useful to those of us who view this process as an essential clinical issue. Galotti's review of various styles of decision making should prove helpful to the clinician who hopes to assist patients (or ourselves) in making more effective and satisfying decisions."
—Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy

"...a solid introduction to the field that is comparable in length and treatment to what might be included in the portion of an undergraduate course in cognition that is dedicated to decision making... .a nicely written, brief overview of the field of decision making, this is a great little book for you."
—Contemporary Psychology APA REVIEW OF BOOKS
