Decisionology

Book excerpt: According to author Dan Gates, decisionology is the analysis, study, discussion, and exampling of the decisions that may determine the direction of your life. We put so much emphasis on the decisions and choices that high-school students are making and will continue to make for the rest of their lives because these choices can potentially create or destroy a bright future. Decisionology is designed to be a simple and effective resource that can be used whenever challenges or decisions arise. This guide does not provide the answers required in a given situation; rather, it explains the many different types of decisions that are available and the potential consequences that each may bring. Dan Gates' Book, Decisionology, should be mandatory reading for the parent as well as the child as it definitely emphasizes the consequences of one's decisions and more importantly it prepares the students and parents for the decisions that are certainly coming and have to be met. Hon. Ed McLean, Sitting District Court Judge, Fourth Judicial District for Missoula and Mineral Counties in Montana Decisionology provides a plethora of real life examples which makes it relatable to an extremely large audience. It would be perfect for the entire family. Jessica L. Weinert Science Educator
