For philosophers, writers or researchers, decision-making, as a complex process, with its visible and invisible constraints, is a formidable object of study.

Indeed, every second of every day, we make dozens of decisions, consciously and unconsciously. And when we do so, our thoughts, emotions, desires and reason collide. We then act on these decisions…

But did we ever consider that our emotions could make it easier to make decisions? Conversely, are we aware that the rational space of your brain is riddled with biases and fallacies? So, how can we improve our understanding and control of our emotions to enhance our decision-making?

This month, our Professors tackle this issue head-on, offering enlightening analyses and valuable tools for both professional and personal decision-making.

In English - "Emotions & decisions: an underestimated combo?"
