One of the defining features of being human is our capacity for rational thought, our ability to find the solution to a problem. Most of the time we deal with mundane concerns, like what to have for breakfast, but occasionally people are faced with much weightier matters.
Some of the decision-makers featured in this book were well aware of the gravity of what they were doing; others had no idea at all. Some were rich and powerful; others were ordinary people who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances. We take a look at stories of people who, when faced with crucial decisions, got them right.
