What is it about ?
Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets: 5 Questions to Help You Determine Your Next Move (2020) By Andy Stanley Gives some practical suggestions on how to make better decisions.

Why bother?
Our decisions matter. One day we will make 35,000 decisions. If we live 80 years, that's 1 billion decisions made! Each decision could change the course of your journey and all these decisions that build your life story.

Key Ideas
Andy Stanley suggests five questions to help us make better decisions: 

• (integrity) Am I being honest with myself? 
• (Legacy) What story do I want to tell?
• (Conscious) Is there attention needing my attention?
• (Maturity) What is the wise thing to do?
• (Relationship) What does love requires of me?

I like the story where the author's dad didn't answer his question when he was young. Instead, his dad asks the question, "What's the wise choice?" and lets him decide. As parents always try to suggest which left kids losing independence, asking questions instead is not a bad idea. The book delivers three simple messages for your next decision: 

1. Decide the right thing to do.
2. Decide the wise things to do.
3. Make your own decision and then own it. ​
