About The Book If you are dubious and equivocal about the choices that lie ahead, The Art of Choosing is your effortless choice to make the right decisions in life. After a meticulous research on many disciplines like psychology, economics, culture, marketing and management, the book presents many real-life scenarios. People stumble upon their choices and tend to make decisions that are not in their best interests. This book reveals the forces that drive one's choices, the impact of a choice on one's endeavor, the challenges encountered in decision-making and the key to making the right decisions. Our life is encrusted with plentitude of choices in every turn. The author explains a jam experiment, which discloses that the more choices we have, the less likely we are to be inclined to one. This holds good even for retirement saving schemes. The author emphasizes that culture has a role to play in our choices. While Americans feel brushing teeth and snoozing the alarm are choices to make, Japanese folks treat it more like a routine. Orthodox people that abide by many rules are more optimistic and hopeful in comparison to atheists because of their belief in a supreme power. The Art of Choosing helps readers to understand many such cases that people can relate to in their daily lives. This book was published on 7th July, 2011 by Abacus and is now available in paperback. Key Features This ground-breaking piece of work was shortlisted for 2010 Financial Times And Goldman Sachs Business Book of The Year Award.
