Short-Term Decisions Equal Long-Term Disasters

<I>SHORT-TERM DECISIONS equal LONG-TERM DISASTERS</I> by Craig D. Allen CFA CFP CIMA is an instruction manual for dealing with day to day decisions in a structured and constructive manner. This book does not espouse one specific solution to any problem. Rather it proposes a systematic framework of decision-making intended as a guide to help you solve your own problems through deliberate analysis and positive change. As the author states “I see this book as a life manual intended to guide you in your quest to get what you want out of life and to feel good about yourself in the process.”</p><p>Too often our natural tendencies drive us to look for a “quick fix” solution to a given problem that provides us with the most attractive short-term benefit. As the author states: “What I will propose in this book is that human behavior tends to favor making decisions based on obtaining short-term benefits which rarely result in the person attaining their true goals.” This book explores the motivating factors that push us towards these short-term decisions and the methods we can use to short-circuit this behavior to improve our decision-making process and thus the quality of our lives.</p>
