The August Best of The Decision Strategist

Published on 01/09/07

In it’s first (not quite whole) month, The Decision Strategist has posted 34 articles. Here are some of my favorites:

• The What am I Doing with My Life? series discusses how I am attempting to decide what to do in the near future.
• The Buy or Rent? series discusses the benefits and risks of buying a house versus renting, as well as providing a spreadsheet to calculate net worth for each option.
• How to Fight Advertising was my first post about the psychology of marketing and how consumers can turn that on their head. A strangely popular post.
• How to use Paired Comparison in Application Planning describes the process of deciding which task to tackle next as I move on with the application I’m trying to build.

Favorite missed post:

• Housing Pundits and the If-Then Fallacy describes people attempts to manipulate a simple human error for their own benefit. I really thought this post didn’t get the attention it deserved, mostly because these tactics aren’t just used by real estate agents, but also by spouses, parents, kids, and anyone trying to convince you of their point of view.

Thanks for all of you readers, especially those who took the time to leave a comment.
