About this episode
What if you've been taught what to think—but never how to think? Dr. Gopal Dorai, economist and author of Decisions for Living, reveals why smart people make messy choices and how to break the cycle. This isn't another feel-good self-help book—it's a framework for decision-making under pressure that actually sticks. From avoiding the influencer trap to finding the right fit for your unique circumstances, Dr. Dorai hands us the manual we all wish we had at 18.
