One of the books I received this year for Christmas, is called the Book of Beautiful Questions by Warren Berger.  It is a fascinating read, and although I haven’t finished it yet, it is already making me question my assumptions.  For example, I am someone that traditionally has relied on my gut to make quick decisions (sometimes life changing decisions).  Berger relates that there is a growing body of research that states that trusting our gut is not the best decision due to our inherent biases, decision-making pitfalls, and our sometimes irrational risk aversion.  Berger’s recommendation is to use self-questioning as a way to make more balanced decisions.
