Description

Imagine nuclear missiles are flying towards the UK and you’re in charge of our response. What do you do? It’s unlikely you’ll have to make this tough a decision – but we all face pressure and choices. How do our brains behave under tension? Moran Cerf, a neuroscientist at the Kellogg School of Management, talks to Ros Taylor about the psychological pitfalls in human decision-making.

• “Our brains are still the brains of humans who lived in a savanna with about 200 people around them.” 
• “We just face too many decisions… you have too many options and too many dimensions.” 
• “Most of life is filled with small choices that don’t really matter… if you accept that you can start making them without regret.”
