On today’s show, we brought back by popular demand, our Mastermind group on decision making. I believe decision making is one of those super-powers in living The Good Life. Improving our judgment can have a far-reaching impact on our health, our well-being, our emotions, our happiness – so many different aspects of our life. Decision making is the primary tool we have to go about in constructing a flourishing life. The Mastermind group includes Jake Taylor of Farnam Street Investments, Annie Duke, author of "Thinking in Bets", and Brent Snow, founder of Ten Thousand Feet which is a company that provides training to Fortune 500 companies on decision making. I've asked each of our guests to introduce a tip or technique that they recommend in improving our decision making.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: How quitting helps us deal with uncertainty Why, when the world changes, we should change our mind Why being “quit-tuitive” is not intuitive, and what do do about it Gritty is good but when do we quit and get gritty about something else?
