Useful Mistakes and Smarter Choices: Becoming a Better Decision-Maker

Original Air Date Wednesday, September 16, 2020

On average, we make 35-36 thousand decisions every day. When we have a clear sense of purpose, we make better, conscious decisions that attract people, ideas, and resources to help move us forward and foster our success.

Major factors that promote financial, emotional, and social well-being including curating the type of information we allow ourselves to take in and the people we surround ourselves with. If all we have to do is follow the rules to transform our lives, why are some of us still making mistakes?

To take a closer look at why we do what we do, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who write about elements of human behavior.
