"I
read DecideBetter and found it to be wonderful. Everyone needs
this kind of counseling at one time or another. Keep up the
good work."
- Sudarma Kekulawela
"I
am an essential study skills teacher at the high school level.
I've used a few of your lessons in the classroom in a unit
on improving decision-making. Our kids are underperforming,
primarily due to the decisions they make. We used information
gleaned from DecideBetter.com to get these students to think
about how many decisions they make daily and the consequences
of those decisions. Thank you for your help!"

Ladanna Feldhake, ESS Instructor, O'Fallon Township High School
"I
like your web site and your newsletter! I am a clinical social
worker in a small rural hospital. I made a copy of the first
story, Frog in Boiling Water, and took it to my daily therapy
group at an inpatient psych unit. The patients loved the story,
and found it east to understand and apply to their own lives
and situaions. It generated a great discussion. Also, I just
returned from a week-long training class in clinical hypnosis
where I told all my colleagues about DecideBetter.com. They
were very intrigued. As clinicians, we are always trying to
come up with good metaphors to help patients understand new
ways to approach their problems, and your web site provides
us with some excellent resources! Thank you! I'm sure these
resources will prove helpful to many people!"

Judy Peelle, LMSW, Clinical Social Worker
"I
am a chemical dependency counselor at a state mental hospital
and I utilize a lot of information from your lessons and newsletter
to formulate group material in my Problem Solving/Decision
Making group. I work with alcoholics and addicts who also
have a mental illness and they have, for the most part, never
learned to make decisions or solve problems. The materialsyou
have on your web site and newsletter are invaluable tools
for me."

Lesson: The Dog Ate My Homework
"The dog ate my homework." "I would love to hear about your recent vacation to the desert." "Oh, you called me last night? I didn't get the message." "Please, tell me more about your grandchildren."
Have you ever lied so that you wouldn't hurt someone's feelings? Chances are you have - maybe a small lie, maybe a big one. A lie about something that doesn't have major negative consequences is often known as a "little white lie."
Many people think of a lie as an action. In reality, however, it's a decision.

Resource: Tougher Decisions
for a Tougher Economy
Until
recently, the relatively strong economy enabled people
to make easier decisions: spend money you didn’t
have, run up credit card debt, spoil yourself, buy
bigger homes and better cars. But now that has all
come to an end, and you will need to make tougher
decisions. By making these tough decisions, rather
than just worrying, you will find that you will take
more control of your life, reduce stress, and improve
your future.

Better! has created a discussion guide for book clubs
