I've only recently embraced basing my decisions on My values instead of those of others. Parenthood has helped me a lot because it requires me to take the lead in an empathic though narrow/somewhat authoritarian fashion as a dad, it's something I missed out on myself which therefore now is a value to me. Actually, narrowing down options is also mentioned here, it's something that calms down my 3 year old son, but also something I can personally improve on. It's interesting how emotions and stress get me so out of touch with my values that I completely forget to act on them in the moment. However, getting angry about not living up to my values can actually help confronting fear and doing anyway what I deem best, acting authentic and adding unique value that way. I'll try this model at work as well, it might help me declutter my mind and get my priorities straight as well as align with the somewhat opposing values of others. Teamwork means also taking their values into account, without losing scrutiny when my own values matter and need to be acted on by the team. Quite the balancing act.
This is the best advice on decision making I've ever seen and a great example of exceptional presentation and structure. Thank you, this has helped me understand why I make poor decisions and hopefully how to make better ones.
He doesn't really tells us how. Misleading title. Also, I'm getting tired of the talks when they spend a lot of time talking about when they went to Africa to help and talking about environmentalism for no good reason. This are short talks and they should get to the point, otherwise it's a waste of time and poor decision making tbh.
I agree with you. He is misleading in telling people that in Tanzania, there isn't enough money to go around so people trade cashew-nuts for water treatment systems.Such nonsense and yet the point he was leading to about decision-making, is actually very relevant. African poverty and suffering is an old stale myth. I live in Nairobi, not far from Tanzania, and I drink water from a water dispenser and I work in an 8-Floor building and there is running water and electricity and air-conditioning and good working conditions and clean air. I see poverty but it only seems rampant because I desire much higher quality of life. There are definitely limited opportunities for everyone to attain the highest standards of living possible but only like 3% of Kenyans or Tanzanians may still have to fetch water from a chocolate-textured, milky green pond. It almost sounds like he was funded by Proctor and Gamble so he had to mention something commercially relevant.
I disagree, I enjoyed the way it was presented. His main point was: To make the best decision, you must consider what your values are and choose the option that aligns the most with your personal values, considering each alternative in terms of pros and cons. The downside is that this can be a time consuming approach, so he suggested using intuition and simply learning through experience for smaller, unimportant decisions. The example of choosing an oil supplier was to illustrate that people don't usually make decisions in that way. He also made a point to say that decisions should be reflected on and evaluated. Personal values can change over time, and the decisions you make should reflect that.
My only criticism is the example of the Masai people choosing things they value about water...that's not culture specific, every group of humans value those characteristics of water
I appreciate the flow of the topic.. There are data he mentioned which don't convince me, do people's choice really reflect their values... If they are true, I should be thankful for that..
hello sir, please i need your opinion regarding a question. If you are alone on an island and you have $100 to spend, there are shops around from where you can buy products that are not branded. kindly explain the buying process??
Good material but the instructor's endless shifting his body back and forth is so distracting it's hard to concentrate on what he's saying. I hope he doesn't do this while teaching college but rather was just extremely nervous. Camera should have stayed on the slides the entire time
Did you mean the moment they started giving their social justice messages in lieu of content? Otherwise you are saying that the only reason you listen is to hear their social justice message, and you stop whenever they begin to give what you consider to be content.
Anyone else watching this because they're required to by the school?

You need to think things through to make the right choice.

His introduction to the topic is amazingly GREAT!
i would adding on to this to also get a deep understanding of cognitive biases and how our evolved mental shortcuts may effect our decision making.

what he is saying is totally unrelated to the title. it wasnt helpful till the last point that our decisions and values should be in line.

Stopped watching Tedx the moment they started to give real content in lieu of their social justice messages.
Did you mean the moment they started giving their social justice messages in lieu of content?
Otherwise you are saying that the only reason you listen is to hear their social justice message, and you stop whenever they begin to give what you consider to be content.
