Most people think they’re fairly skilled at making big life decisions. But in his groundbreaking book, Farsighted: How We Make the Decisions That Matter the Most, science historian Steven Johnson argues that we’re not as good as we think.
Drawing insights from behavioral psychology, neuroscience, military strategy, and management theory, Johnson builds a compelling case for why typical decision-making processes are too narrow—and the benefits of a more full-spectrum approach.
In this course, you’ll learn to tackle complex, long-term decisions with conclusions from Johnson’s book—including how to map your options, predict outcomes, and consider your values before making final choices.
