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. Professionals everywhere face this right now — in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe. Should I learn AI or double down on what I know? Accept the new role or stay where it's safe? These questions feel impossible. But they don't have to. You'll learn two tools for making difficult career decisions with a wider lens: -Multi-tracking: how to explore multiple paths at the same time — and why it actually makes you decide faster - The vanishing options test: the one question that instantly unlocks possibilities your brain was hiding from you If you want to know how to make better choices in life and work — especially when everything feels uncertain — this is your next step. 📖 Part of our ongoing Decisive series on the Chip Heath and Dan Heath framework for smarter decision-making.
