How We Decide
I’m a terminal equivocator, a chronic and debilitating deliberator. In the latest episode of CBC’s WireTap, “The Deciders,” host Jonathan Goldstein walks me through one of those difficult decisions we all are faced with at some point: Should I go to the doctor? Hilarity ensues as we review the pros and cons of my plight. Stay tuned afterward for Jonathan’s interview with author Jonah Lehrer, who knows from deciding. It would seem I’m a maximizer not a satisfizer. Or something like that. Whatever the case, you can maximize your satisfaction by choosing to turn your internet dial to the CBC.
