ABSTRACT

A day in the life is filled with many decisions. After waking up in the morning, one has to decide what to eat, what to drink, what to wear, what to do after breakfast, what to buy, what to read, what to say, what movie to rent, which food to buy to lose weight, and what gift to buy a friend, among many examples. A lifetime, as well, is defined by major decisions, even if people confront those decisions only once. People’s prospects in life are substantially shaped by where they decide to go to school, the career to pursue, what car to buy, which house to live in, what person to marry—if at all—and what city in which to make a home, just to name a few significant decisions that most people face during their journey through life.
