Snap Judgement


The Chattahoochee Technical College Library has some books on cd-rom for patrons and staff.


One such book is entitled 'Snap Judgement: When to Trust Your Instincts, When to Ignore Them, and How to Avoid Making Big Mistakes with Your Money,' by David Adler.


This book examines, primarily through the medium of finances, how humans tend to make decisions based more on emotion than on empirical evidence. This explains the level of gambling consumers apply to the rise and fall of stocks on the open market. The book points out that we, as humans, need to slow down with our decisions and apply empirical knowledge and evidence to our choices before we make a decision.
