There are countless books on how to make those tough calls, but \u003ci\u003eHow Women Decide\u003c\/i\u003e is the first to examine a much overlooked truth: men and women approach decisions differently, and often in surprising ways. Stress? It makes women more focused. Confidence? Caution can lead to stronger decisions. And despite popular misconceptions, women are just as decisive as men—though they may pay for it. Pulling from the latest science on decision-making, as well as lively stories of real women and their experiences, cognitive scientist Therese Huston teaches us how we can best shape our habits, perceptions, and strategies, not just to make the most of our own opportunities, but to reshape the culture and bring out the best decisions—regardless of who’s making them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“I thought I had read everything I needed to read on gender differences, but, as a CEO, this book showed me a new and critically important area in which we need to be very aware of our biases and take the steps Huston recommends to address them.”\u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eAnne-Marie Slaughter, author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnfinished Business: Women Men Work Family\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e and president and CEO of New America\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Using a wealth of economic and social science research, Huston – a cognitive psychologist [...] – documents these stereotypes and shows how women are often trapped in situations where they can’t come out ahead, no matter what they do.…[\u003cem\u003eHow Women Decide\u003c\/em\u003e] will resonate with any women trying to navigate treacherous career waters as well as with managers wondering how to increase diversity and get the best out of all their employees. One could also imagine it becoming \u003cstrong\u003erequired reading on Wall Street\u003c\/strong\u003e, where male-dominated thinking has caused so many problems.”  —\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e   \"Huston, writing in a cheerful, classroom voice, wants to give readers tools to take apart the frequently hostile response to women’s decisions...In clear, declarative prose, [\u003cem\u003eHow Women Decide\u003c\/em\u003e] dips readers’ toes into stereotype threat and confirmation bias, role congruity theory, cortisol and stress studies and prospect theory.\"  —\u003cem\u003eSeattle Times\u003c\/em\u003e   “To decide or not to decide?
