Description

Decisions that shape our future and define who we'll be are made every day, from career choices to family planning. Yet, when faced with life-changing experiences, we're confronted with the uncertainty of our subjective futures. This uncertainty has significant implications for our decision-making.

Laurie Ann Paul argues that, for big life decisions, we need to rethink our approach to choice-making. Rather than trying to escape the dilemma by avoiding an experience, we should focus on discovering the intrinsic nature of experience itself. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of what truly matters and how to live authentically.

This book offers a rigorous account of transformative experience, drawing on philosophical concepts and recent work in decision theory, cognitive science, and epistemology. It provides a fresh perspective on how we should understand real-world experience and our capacity to make informed decisions about our lives.
