About the book

Several recent books have examined how people make choices, but none explain why different people have such different styles of decision making - and why those styles seem consistent across many contexts. For instance, why is a gambler always a gambler, whether at work, on the road or at a ballot box? Scott de Marchi and James T. Hamilton present a new theory about how people decide, based on an extensive survey of more than 30,000 subjects. They show that each person has six core traits that shape every decision - from what to have for lunch to where to invest.
