Why Smart People Make Dumb Choices
Publisher: Harvest House
Have you ever been sacked by stress, caught by curiosity or injured by impatience? Wondering what I am on about? Smart people that make dumb choices are usually led by at least one negative emotion. Part one of the book covers real life confessions and consequences of people that make poor choices. This includes every area of life relationships, finances, health and morals.
The second section is about ten emotions that cause people to make bad choices. It explored practical and biblical examples to illustrate the point. The chapter on ‘Injured by impatience’ shows how impatience destroys relationships and distorts your perception of reality. It states frustration is an outgrowth of impatience. As the frustration mounts, you become angry or depressed at your inability to immediately make your life happen. Impatience can make you sick.
The third section of the book shows seven secrets to making great decisions. These included creativity, courage, and concrete information. A useful chapter was on contemplation, weighing the risk and rewards. It will help you answer pertinent questions. For instance – what impact will this decision have on the quality of my life tomorrow, next week, next month and next year?
This book is practical and easy to read. Each chapter ends with a prayer. It will enlighten you to identify the warning signs on the brink on making a dumb decision.
My verdict: Be smart and get the book.
