Big, life-altering decisions are significantly more impactful than everyday choices, yet they are often the hardest to make. These decisions encompass where to live, whom to marry, what to believe, whether to start a company, and how to end a war. There is no universal solution for tackling such dilemmas. Steven Johnson, known for inspiring creativity with his insights on innovation, now reveals essential tools for mastering complex decision-making. While one cannot predict the outcome of a once-in-a-lifetime choice, it is possible to emulate the deliberative strategies of expert decision-makers. These experts range from corporate strategists and diplomats to novelists exploring character complexities, city officials planning for future resources, and scientists addressing unforeseen challenges. The most effective decision-makers rely on a future-oriented mindset, creatively considering all options rather than simply trusting their instincts. Through engaging narratives that offer unexpected insights, Johnson illustrates how to approach choices that can influence the trajectory of a life, organization, or society. This exploration encourages readers to envision their potential futures and recognize the nuanced intelligence behind the decisions that have shaped our collective history.
