with Emily P. Freeman
About this episode

This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on October 12, 2021.

It's the list we all know to make when we're stuck in the decision-making process. There are helpful things about the pro/con list but we all know they don't work all by themselves. This type of list could be a good starting point, but what do you do next? I dedicated The Next Right Thing to anyone who's ever made a pro/con list in the middle of the night. If that's you, listen in.
