Every day we make thousands of decisions – potentially as many as 2,000 an hour.

But it turns out we humans have a very poor track record when it comes to making good decisions. The result is an explosion of research into the science of decision-making that has the potential to transform our lives.

In Decisions, Decisions, host Anthony Morgan joins some of the world’s top decision scientists to conduct a series of street experiments that use unwitting passers-by as guinea pigs to reveal the latest discoveries in this field.

Decisions, Decisions takes cameras inside Morgan’s brain to show decision-making in action. Using an fMRI, we see what’s happening in his ventromedial prefrontal cortex, discover how poor his food choices are and find out how he can take some very simple steps to make better decisions about what he eats.

Good decision-making affects everything we do. Decisions, Decisions reveals how we can all make better choices and fundamentally change our lives.
