Introducing the concept of a \"decisionscape,\" Elspeth Kirkman blends art and science with insights from moral philosophy, sports, geopolitics, and elsewhere to explore decision making in a refreshingly original way. A broadly appealing and relatable book, \u003ci\u003eDecisionscape\u003c\/i\u003e asks us to confront the prejudices, blind spots, and hypocrisy in our day-to-day thinking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen we make choices, Kirkman explains, we act like an artist arranging objects on a canvas, using our system of perspective to compose a mental representation of the world. This decisionscape includes a foreground and background, a frame, a fixed viewpoint, and outside influences. Organized into four parts that unpack a different facet of the book's organizing principle, \u003ci\u003eDecisionscape\u003c\/i\u003e shows how psychological distance dictates what we prioritize and diminish, how the big picture can often look different from its parts, how culture and context frame decisions, and how personal worldviews alter how we interpret information. Complex, timely, and breezy, \u003ci\u003eDecisionscape\u003c\/i\u003e addresses one of the most fundamental human experiences: making better decisions to live our best life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElspeth Kirkman is Chief Programme Officer at the innovation agency Nesta and a Visiting Senior Research Fellow at King's College London's Policy School and Exeter University's Business School.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWorking at the intersection of design, data, and experimentation, she is the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eBehavioral Insights\u003c\/i\u003e (MIT Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.1 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50403461005549,"sku":"9780262048941","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/decisionscape-how-thinking-like-an-artist-can-improve-our-decision-making-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
