MAKING DECISIONS: Putting the Human Back in the Machine Paperback

Making Decisions: Putting the Human Back in the Machine by Professor Therese Huston delves into the crucial intersection of human psychology and technology in the decision-making process, arguing against the notion of purely rational, algorithm-driven choices. Huston expertly blends research in cognitive science, behavioral economics, and social psychology to illuminate the inherent biases, emotions, and social influences that profoundly shape how we make choices, even in an increasingly automated world. Through compelling examples and practical insights, the book empowers readers to become more aware of their own decision-making tendencies and to cultivate strategies that leverage both human intuition and technological tools for more effective and ultimately more human-centered outcomes in various aspects of life and work.
