How Do We Make Choices?

Dmitry Leotiev tells on the radio about the peculiarity of our choices.

The head of the laboratory of positive psychology gave an interview in March on Mayak radio (Moscow).
Choice is the act of resolving uncertainty. The choice can be made in different ways. For example, toss a coin and wait for it to resolve itself. You may ask yourself which will be worse? What are the consequences of my decision? What I can gain from that?

By the way good book on the topic of choice is "The Paradox of Choice" (Barry Schwartz). If you want to understand this topic more fundamentally, then we recommend "The Psychology of Choice" (written by the team of our laboratory).
