Two weeks ago I attended a Rose Cafe given Cheryl Einhorn about her method for making complex decisions. As a college student, I am making choice almost every day which will have lifelong consequences: what classes to prioritize? what internships to apply for? should I pursue that minor or not? After hearing Professor Einhorn speak about her method, it made me realize how useful a standard decision making process could be for my life. If only to relieve anxiety and give a (however illusory) impression of control, such a method could significantly improve both the happiness and long-term benefits of my college education. The genius of Professor Einhorn’s take, and why, I am sure, she was hired by Columbia, is that it allows one to make decisions both in complex and competitive business setting as well as the more fluid, hazy, and (in a certain sense) high-stakes setting of one’s personal life. As such, I plan to look into her method in greater detail, and see it applicability to my own life.
