In Episode 2 of our Decisive series, we tackle the first and most common villain of decision-making: narrow framing — the moment your brain turns a complex situation into a false "this or that" choice. Drawing from Chip Heath and Dan Heath's Decisive book, we unpack why seeing only two options is itself a thinking error, and how to break out of it.
