Recalculating- Using Critical Thinking for Life Decisions
Ilana Krause & Lee Krause
How do you make the big decisions in your life — such as what job to take, whether to stay in a relationship, or whether to make that move? Are you the analytical type who makes lists of the pros and cons? Are you the intuitive type who goes with your gut? Are you the fatalist who lets circumstances decide for you? Does making important decisions sometimes feel like a random, hit-or-miss proposition? “Recalculating” is all about utilizing the decision-making process to make you the most effective decision-maker you can be. This includes leveraging your skills and experiences to pivot when opportunity knocks and finding shortcuts to achieving your goals.
