Smart Choices

A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions

By: John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney, Howard Raiffa

Narrated by: William Sarris

Become confident in your choices.

Where should I live? Is it time to get a new job? Which job candidate should I hire? What business strategy should I pursue?

We spend the majority of our lives making decisions, both big and small. Yet, even though our success is largely determined by the choices that we make, very few of us are equipped with useful decision-making skills. Because of this, we often approach our choices tentatively, or even fearfully, and avoid giving them the time and thought required to put our best foot forward.

In Smart Choices, John Hammond, Ralph Keeney, and Howard Raiffa-experts with over 100 years of experience resolving complex decision problems-offer a proven, straightforward, and flexible roadmap for making better and more impactful decisions, and offer the tools to achieve your goals in every aspect of your life.

Their step-by-step, divide-and-conquer approach will teach you how to: evaluate your plans; break your potential decision into its key elements; identify the key drivers that are most relevant to your goals; apply systematic thinking; and use the right information to make the smartest choice.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Be ready to take physical notes

This is the type of audiobook that's best combined with the paperback or kindle version, because it's so information dense.

Being highly underrated by the average person, only world class people can fully take and absorb this audiobook.

Boring, dry, not relatable or actionable

Could not think of a more boring audiobook I’ve listened to in the past 10 years. One of those books you’d want to sit down with a pen and paper to try and retain anything. Examples and stories are not relatable. Just a bad audiobook.
