    About this ebook

    The secret to making the right call in an increasingly complex world

    The decisions we make every day – frequently automatic and incredibly fast – impact every area of our lives. The Little Black Book of Decision Making delves into the cognition behind decision making, guiding you through the different ways your mind approaches various scenarios. You'll learn to notice that decision making is a matter of balance between your rational side and your intuition – the trick is in honing your intuition to steer you down the right path.

    Pure reasoning cannot provide all of the answers, and relying solely on intuition could prove catastrophic in business. There must be a balance between the two, and the proportions may change with each situation. This book helps you quickly pinpoint the right mix of logic and 'gut feeling,' and use it to find the best possible solution.

    • Balance logic and intuition in your decision making approach
    • Avoid traps set by the mind's inherent bias
    • Understand the cognitive process of decision making
    • Sharpen your professional judgement in any situation

    Decision making is the primary difference between organisations that lead and those that struggle. The Little Black Book of Decision Making helps you uncover errors in thinking before they become errors in judgement.

    Michael Nicholas

    Michael has been working in the pain field since 1980 as a clinical psychologist, educator, and researcher. Between 1988 and 1990 Michael was the inaugural director of the inpatient pain management programme (INPUT) at St Thomas' Hospital in London. This programme was established with the support of the Kings Fund to evaluate the effectiveness of this form of pain management in the UK. The INPUT programme continues to achieve outstanding results and over the years it has received widespread international recognition. Since returning to Australia Michael joined the Pain Management and Research Centre at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney (with the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney), where he is now an Associate Professor. In 1994 Michael established the ADAPT programme at the Royal North Shore Hospital. This is based directly on the original INPUT programme in London and is achieving similar results. More recently, he has been involved in assisting the development of similar programmes in Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore, as well as Australia. Michael has published over 120 papers in books and scientific journals, on the management of pain, and he has lectured on the field in many countries.
