from Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely
How to Apply This
-
Question your repeated behaviors.
In case of buying a new cell phone, could you take a step back from the cutting edge, reduce your outlay, and use some of the money for something else? -
Pay attention to the first decision you make.
Pay particular attention to the first decision of many decisions (about clothing, food, etc.) you make. When we face such a decision, it might seem like it won’t have large consequences; but the power of the first decision can significantly affect us for years. So the first decision is crucial, and it deserves an appropriate amount of attention.
