Rat's Country: How our brains make decisions

"Sadly, our brains aren't good at making decisions either.  For example, too often, we make choices based on our fear of losing something, rather than our hope of gaining something."

  2. I'm really enjoying that book, "Getting Organized in the Google Era" Much of what he suggests, you already know and do, I'm sure. When he talks about storing information in "the cloud," I remember your using that term at a MCWC board meeting.
