In his book, DECISION TIME! Better Decisions for a Better Life, Richard Davidson outlines for us what goes into making a decision, the types of situations in which decisions are made and how we can weight our choices to make decision making easier and much more.
Who knew that what we do without much thought each and every day could be quantified in a thoughtful, logical way, to come to a good decision for that moment in time? As the author points out, even using his "Davidson's Doctrine" principles we sometimes make errors, make no decision or make a decision on whatever issue later, still being cognizant of the skills we used to eventually make a decision.
One of the principles of "Davidson's Doctrine" is to write down what you are trying to decide. He says: "Whenever you have to decide between two alternatives or among several alternatives, select one choice, and assume that you have already made that decision. Then look at your situation from the viewpoint of having already made the decision, and see whether you are comfortable with it and its probable resulting implications..."
I think this book is helpful in allowing us humans to find a better way to make decisions. Somehow, Richard Davidson makes decisions simpler. This is a way to figure out simple and knotty problems, allowing us to come to decisions from a comfortable I-have-looked-at-all-the-possibilities, assumed each one to be true, felt the weight of consequences and benefits shift as I examined each, and then decided to make a decision. We, at Off Campus Writers Workshop are lucky to have this interesting work from an author who knows the territory well. Reading it has opened my eyes to decision making. After you read it, you will wish you knew all of these techniques sooner - it makes life easier - and decisions we make better.
