Scientific Analysis of Decision Making submitted by Chris82 on July 30, 2011, 6:29pm This is a great book that shows us how we make judgements and decisions even without realizing it.

How We Decide submitted by SBNB on August 12, 2012, 11:51am It's an interesting book about what happens in the brain when we make decisions. Some aspects of the writing were a little annoying and some things were repeated, but overall, it was a good, informative read.
