Make Up Your Mind: A Decision Making Guide to Thinking Clearly and Choosing Wisely

Decisions, Good or Bad Have Significant Effects on Your Future

We live in an age where healthy living and physical fitness are all the rages. Media of all types promote improving our physical well-being through a healthy lifestyle. But conspicuous by its absence is any encouragement to become decision fit so that we can deliberately make the best choices in our personal and business lives. Although our daily decisions largely determine whether we achieve the success we desire, we are seldom trained in this most important of skills.

Make Up Your Mind: A Decision-Making Guide to Thinking Clearly and Choosing Wisely provides techniques from author Hal Mooz's proprietary system for decision making, Decision Fitness. This approach consists of three decision-making models:

• A Decision Type Model characterizes what is at stake with any decision
• A Decision Solution Model frames the most suitable alternatives to choose from
• A Decision Judgment Model provides ten bases for judging alternatives

These models guide thinking to the most promising alternatives and the best choice. A Decision Fit reader will be able to:

• Specify the decision and context
• Determine the decision type
• Create the decision type frame
• Develop the decision solution frame
• Create viable alternatives
• Identify and get the comparative information
• Knowledgably select the right judgment basis
• Skillfully apply the appropriate judgment process
• Effectively manage power and peer pressure
• Objectively make the judgment
• Decisively implement the action
