Every day we make hundreds of decisions, most made without a second thought. While we feel pretty good about explaining our decisions, science delivers a different verdict. Our explanations of our decisions, why we do what we do, are invariably incomplete and sometimes just plain wrong. In this one-class Lifetime Learning course, Peter Zimmerman will lead a guided tour across the landscape of decisions, drawing insights from science, history and our own experience.

Zimmerman is a lecturer in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Formerly he worked on the National Security Council staff and on the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
