Beskrivning

Indecision is a fact of life.We can't decide what film to watch, dinner to make or wine to buy. We hesitate before committing to romantic relationships and then again before breaking up. We worry about how best to invest our money, time, and energy. In contrast, we admire those individuals who can make quick decisions and stick to them with ease.But what if the line we've been sold - that indecision is bad, unhelpful, weak - is wrong?In this ground-breaking book, two leading psychologists upend the traditional decision mindset and reveal the hidden benefits of staying undecided. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and a wealth of examples from current affairs, history and popular culture, Ophelia Deroy and Bahador Bahrami provide fresh insight on everything from online dating and parenting to the gig economy and the way we vote. In so doing, they reveal that our obsession with decision-making does us more harm than good. Offering a radical, and often counterintuitive, new perspective on our everyday predicaments, Indecision encourages us to cultivate the power of an unresolved mind for happier, healthier lives.
