Decisions

You’re happy that you’ve met your friends after 4 long years.
You post a picture on Instagram. 

You are sad that your counteroffer was turned down by the VCs.
You tweet a line on Twitter. 

You are surprised as your partner gifted you your favorite iPhone.
You click a picture and send it to your contacts on Snapchat. 

You are angry because your employee couldn’t complete the work by the deadline. You post a quote on discipline to your Whatsapp Status, wanting him to see. 

What’s common in all of this? Social Media, right? Not just that. Emotions, right? True, but not just that. Well, no more time to guess it. Decisions.

Most of the decisions we make are bound with a particular emotion, thus making them predictable which might turn out to be irrational in the retrospect. Yes, I’m writing this under the influence of Dan Ariely’s absolute goldwork ‘Predictably Irrational’. 

Thanks to my cousin for gifting this on my birthday, 3 years ago. I can talk about this book for hours, such is the influence this book has on me. If you do read this book once, you will be more aware and conscious about your decisions and the whole process of making decisions, influencing the way you think. 

Go order a copy now. NOW! You’ll thank me later 😉
