This Video Will Change the Way You Make Tough Decisions

Think of a hard choice you’ve made in the past or will have to make in the future.

Why is it so difficult to choose between your options? As Ruth Chang, philosophy professor at Rutgers University, explains, it’s because “one alternative is better in some ways, the other alternative is better in other ways, and neither is better than the other overall.” In other words, you’re stuck.

Chang has a solution. Watch the video to discover her revolutionary method of making hard choices—your decisions will never be the same again.
