Better Decisions Faster: Unshakable Confidence When You Need It Most - Book by Paul Epstein

Better Decisions Faster: Unshakable Confidence When You Need It Most” (2023)

The average adult makes more than 35,000 decisions in a day. Most are mundane, but there are a handful that separate businesses that boom or bust, careers that succeed or fail, relationships that make it or don’t, and lives of happiness or hopelessness. These most valuable decisions (MVDs) represent the gap between a green-light life and a red-light life. In more than fifteen years as an NFL and NBA executive, Paul Epstein saw firsthand how, when faced with such an overwhelming number of decisions, even elite performers can rush to bad judgments or become paralyzed by indecision.
