The Decisive Moment: How Framing Changes Every Choice You Make
The Frame Determines the Picture
Every decision you make is influenced by how the choice is framed. A 90% survival rate sounds better than a 10% mortality rate, even though they describe the same medical outcome. A \$5 fee framed as a "surcharge" feels different from the same fee framed as a "discount for paying on time." These framing effects are not trivial biases to be overcome — they are fundamental features of how the human brain evaluates options.
Mind The Gap teaches you to recognize and consciously choose your frames rather than being unconsciously influenced by default framing. The Law of Framing provides a systematic approach to identifying the current frame, testing alternative frames, and selecting the frame that serves your long-term values rather than your immediate impulses.
