Keyword decision The average amount of decisions a person makes each day ranges from 3000 for a young child building up to approximately 35,000 as an adult. What this means is that who we really are is a mixture of decisions that lead to action. Therefore one of the most powerful things we can do to understand someone's to identify the main forces that drive their decision making processes.

In the book
A young child makes a few thousand decisions a day; a grown adult makes something like thirty-five thousand. Which means that who you are, in the end, is very largely the sum of the decisions that led to your actions. A pilot's whole flight is a chain of them — thousands of tiny, trained adjustments, punctuated by a few big ones that change everything. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
