Why can't I do what I know is best for me?

decision science for life
your next decision...
your life.
your decision.
You're stuck and you want something better. Therapy doesn't work, religion isn't your thing, self-help books aren't cutting it, and your friends aren't helping.
You're in the right place.
In my early 20s, I was depressed, suicidal, and experiencing symptoms of PTSD. I struggled to stay in school. My social life was a roller coaster. I was a mess.
I went to therapy and took a lot of meds. That didn't help.
I reached out to people who cared about me. They couldn't help.
I put a loaded gun to my head. That definitely didn't help.
And then I discovered the power of making my own choices. The more I studied the science of decision making, the more equipped I became to tackle life's challenges and live a better life.
I have spent the past 20+ years studying decision making in a variety of contexts, and I've used that knowledge to make decisions that have saved me. Today, the suicidal thoughts and depression are gone. I am an entrepreneur with a good career and great friends. Life is not always easy because that's how life is, and I don't have it all figured out because no one does. But decision science has given me the power to make it so much better.
There's a better way for you too. Let's find that way together.
