Doh! Why did I do that?

There’s the time you tried to wax your eyebrows yourself and the time you decided to test just how far the needle on the gas gauge will go past the E. Bad decisions, at their best, make great stories for your friends. At their worst, they can cost you money, lives, friends and your reputation.
Most of us have managed to avoid making any seriously bad decisions. Still, we are intrigued by a new book that purports to help you recognize “the limitations of your inner Homer Simpson,” to quote the writers at www.slate.com.
The book, “Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness” aims to help you stymie that compulsion to have one more drink before hitting the road, help you decide between paper and plastic and unlock the path to choosing the right Rolls Royce for your garage. Apparently there is a science to making decisions, and if you spend enough time analyzing and overthinking why we all make the decisions we make, how we can train ourselves to avoid negative outside influences, then your life will be more successful and happy.
Or you can just keep on flipping that coin.
