Description
The internet says we make more than 35 000 decisions every day - from whether to have toast or porridge for breakfast to when to change job. These decisions shape our lives but how much do we know about the process of ‘deciding’? And how do we do it successfully?   In The Art of Deciding, award-winning journalist Bruce Whitfield asks people who make big decisions for a living to reveal a little of how they do it. What have been their most crucial decisions, do they focus on gut instinct or data, how do they cope if the realise they've gone for the wrong option?   The series brings together some of the best insight from people whose decisions have had far-reaching consequences, so that we can perfect our own ‘art of deciding’.   Find out more about Bruce Whitfield at https://www.brucewhitfield.com/ The Art of Deciding is produced by Podcart https://www.podcart.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
