Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work by Chip and Dan Heath is a practical guide that helps readers overcome common decision-making biases and make smarter choices. The book identifies four key traps—narrow framing, confirmation bias, short-term emotion, and overconfidence—that often lead to poor decisions. To combat these, the authors introduce a four-step process: Widen Your Options, Reality-Test Your Assumptions, Attain Distance Before Deciding, and Prepare to Be Wrong. Through real-world examples and psychological research, Decisive offers tools and strategies to improve decision-making in both personal and professional settings, emphasizing the importance of considering alternatives, challenging assumptions, and acknowledging the possibility of mistakes
