When faced with a life-changing decision do you find that all too often your choice is hasty and you come to regret it? Or perhaps you avoid making choices at all costs from fear that you'll make the wrong one? Laurence Alison and Neil Shortland have spent their careers studying some of the hardest choices that people have to make in some of the most high-pressured environments. 'Decision Time' takes the decision-making techniques used in war zones and war rooms to create a step-by-step guide for decision-making in everyday life.
