http://bigthink.com/blogs/artful-choice <p>Artful Choice is a blog written by <a href="http://bigthink.com/mariakonnikova" target="_blank">Maria Konnikova</a> about the psychology of decision making and its impact on the choices we make, from the very little (flat or sparkling?) to the very big (and will you have fries with that?). It is also an exploration of the wholeness of the human mind, from our perception of the world to our reactions to and interactions with it. It aims to increase the mindfulness of our decision making, so that we understand enough about our minds, ourselves, and our decision processes to make our choices thoughtfully, artfully, and with appropriate care.&nbsp;Maria can be reached at maria.konnikova [at] bigthink [dot] com.</p> Sat, 25 May 2013 07:57:22 -0000 Copyright Big Think.
