Life presents us with one decision after another, every hour, every day. Some decisions are simple, others are tough. Often, we don’t have all the information to make a well-informed decision, but we need to move forward. Yet information is only one aspect of making a decision. Other factors impacting the decision-making process are our emotions and the cognitive biases we bring to the table.
