The Science of Better Decisions

You make roughly thirty-five thousand decisions a day, and your brain takes shortcuts on almost all of them. Most of the time those shortcuts serve you well. But in the decisions that matter — career moves, money, health, relationships — the same shortcuts systematically lead you astray, and they do it invisibly.

In ninety focused minutes, neuroscientist Dr. Alina Morgan walks you through the machinery of human judgment: the two systems of thought, the cognitive biases with the biggest real-world cost, and the surprising role emotion plays in good reasoning. Then she gets practical, teaching decision frameworks used by clinicians, investors, and intelligence analysts, and showing you how to build a decision journal that turns your own track record into a feedback loop.

This is a beginner-friendly course with no prerequisites — just a willingness to catch your own mind in the act. You will leave with tools you can apply to your very next hard choice.
