Through the prism of prospect theory--which explains why people make conservative decisions in some instances and reckless decisions in others--Gould provides practical pathways to sound, timely judgments about relationships, family matters, careers, finances, and more. Time and again, throughout this concise but richly rewarding book, Gould demonstrates that understanding how and why people make choices is the first step toward making the best possible choices for ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Gould\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313372314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313372315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 9","brand":"Patrick Gould","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965724115199,"sku":"9780313372315","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a59078a-4e84-41d4-a1c7-554bb8a66b4f.jpg?v=1767284370","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prudent-decision-making-in-an-patrick-gould-9780313372315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
