Question

making the right decision
the belief that decision making should be easy might also impede our ability to think well about the choices that we are making. our gut says, \i need you to think through this process carefully and consider several options to make sure you can proceed safely.\ meanwhile, we are arguing, \smart/capable/efficient/worthwhile people are able to decide things quickly and effectively... i have to decide now.\... we might ask people that we consider to be wise to tell us how they make a variety of major decisions... as we find that wise people also decide unfamiliar things slowly and carefully, we can free ourselves to do the same.
