Decide & Conquer: Make Winning Decisions And Take Control Of Your Life by management and organizational behavior expert Stephen P. Robbins (Professor Emeritus, San Diego State University) is an absolute "must-read" self-help book written for people from all walks of life. Decide & Conquer focuses specifically upon factors that impede the human decision-making process -- whether choosing what stock to buy, which career to pursue, how to invest for retirement, who to date or marry, or virtually any other crucial life choice. Professor Robbins clearly delineates common obstacles to sound decision-making, including the failure to realize that making no choice is a choice in itself to keep the status quo, overconfidence, inability to recognize sunk costs, and more. Decide & Conquer is superbly organized and presented guide which is extensively researched with a wealth of keen insights drawn from modern human psychology.

I took one of Dr. Robbins' management courses
at SDSU over a dozen years ago, and to this day
I'm still using the decision-making techniques
he presented, in my own life...

In person, at the podium, Dr. Robbins is warm,
bright and funny, and he gets his points across
with laser precision...

Happily, his writing style mirrors his speaking
style, and it makes for an enjoyable read...

I recommend this book to anyone who could use
an intelligent angel sitting on their shoulder...

A very good book. Dr. Robbins does indeed write as well
as he speaks. This book would make a useful addition to your
"self-improvement" library. I highly recommend it.

This book is very concise. It was used in my critical think class for college. I found it such a great resource that I had to add it to my book collection. It offers great explanations and plenty of drills for self-evaluation.

Makes me a lot more patient and decide many things better. This book is not too long. Try it.

I purchase this book in July and I have not received it. I was told it would arrive between July 28 & August 16, 2010. My class is almost over what good will it do me now.
