THE POWER OF DECISION-MAKING | BENEDIKT AHLFELD | TEDxGraz
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2016
- Every day we make 20.000 decisions. Most of them with lightning speed; brain research proves that. The least of them, on the other hand, are rational and well thought through; the behavioral economy shows that. Benedikt Ahlfeld reveals which three decision traps you should certainly avoid and how you can utilize the findings of brain research.
Decision-making runs like a golden thread through Benedikt Ahlfeld’s life - decisions that meet his standards hold-no-barred. At the age of 13 you would have found him sitting on the rooftops meditating. Aged 16, with little more than 2 months work experience, he decided for himself to become an entrepreneur. Today, Benedikt enables people and companies to live and work smart by sharing his expertise on the psychology of decision-making.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Most of the decisions we make in our lives we at some point have faced before, even the most difficult ones.
The "I'm not a native speaker, surprise" got me
Message received ...!🔥
Good speech
Excellent talk. Very useful message -
Your life is a result of your decisions
Summary to take better decisions:
1. Simplify - narrow it down to top 7 (or less)
2. Train your Brain under stress by regularly leaving the comfort zone
3. Perfectionism - don't wait for 80% or more info, before taking the decision
very impressive talk

ONE OF THE GREATEST SPEACHES IVE EVER HEARD!!!
Come on
Good performance
The problem with decision making is: lot of options! (paralyzation).
Solution:
1- Narraow the options to a maximum of 7 options.
2- Put Permanant Stress on your self to get adapted to decision stress by getting out from your comfort zone.
3- Don’t seek perfectionism. (if you have around 80% of the information that is enough) as Stephen R.Covey says ”Perfection prevents action”.
Thank you for
Wow wow very Nice
Top decision-makers:
Set their own standards: they know what they want, and how to get what they want.
Self-management: they manage their emotions well, don't let emotions get in the way.
Implementation: they do what they set for themselves.
3 Decision-making traps:
Over-stimulation
Solution: Simplify. Pick top 7 chunks of information.
Perfectionism
Solution: Successful decision-makers act when they have 80% of the information. Fix errors on the way.
Stress: Stress raises your cortisone level, which blocks the information to your brain's decision-making center. And your amygdala makes you avoid danger. So you will fall back to old habits under stress.
Solution: train your brain under stress by doing more new things. Because unfamilar things will automatically raise your cortisone level, and you can train your brain to do well under that situation.
Ur an angel, saved me so much time on an assignment 🥲🙏
Man crossing your fingers diffenrently was akward. Good example of how much we love habits. Great speech.
Nice video...
Congrats Ben, well done! Nice job! ;-)
Thank you so much Claudia! Appreciate it
Yoo! I always wondered what happened to him after perfect strangers!
Anyone else get I trouble in school and got sent this video to write an essay about? 😂
thank you! so the way out of permanent stress is to reframe?
Hi Angelica, you could do that. Even more effective is to train your brain to cope with higher cortisol levels. You can do that by constantly leaving the comfort zone!
Oh yes! Good to know - I have been doing it since the last 4 years...thank you!
Awesome! Keep up :)

Thalamus was red and Hypothalamus was actually green in this presentation.
"When you wish to reflect upon or consider a matter, you consult something within you. You say, shall I do it, or shall I not do it? Is it better to make this journey or abandon it? Whom do you consult? Who is within you deciding this question? Surely there is a distinct power, an intelligent ego. Were it not distinct from your ego, you would not be consulting it. It is greater than the faculty of thought. It is your spirit which teaches you, which advises and decides upon matters." - Abdu’l-Baha, Baha'i Faith
I want a comparison to J Cole etc

"I'm not just talking about people that are robots "niggghaaaa I didnt know there were people that are robots.
hi every body. I have a problem, would anybody help me, I am studing physical therapy, it's my first year in university, I love physical therapy, and there are no problems with studying, I get really high marks in exams, but the problem is that I don't know what I am doing here, I don't want to be a physiotherapist, I like reading In business and want to be an entrepreneur, I don't know should I stop studying physical therapy, and go to business school, or should I study business just beside my physical therapy course which is my parents opinion.
Yousseff, your question, I believe is one that plagues the minds of most young adults starting out in a new direction. There are several ways to approach this question, but I would start out by re framing it. If you are starting out on the path to physical therapy and enjoy that vocation, the question you should be asking yourself is WHY. EXAMPLE: "Why am I such an awesome physical therapist?" You see that the "Why" question basically creates a google search mechanism internally and the brain and mind will search this indefinitely and line up your conscious and your sub-conscious to create a physically congruent success path. The key is consistent repetition to re-frame your thoughts and beliefs to be congruent.

THE POWER OF DECISION-MAKING is a new and useful things?
I have to say, this guy is really charismatic but he has no idea what he is talking about. Bad combination... I'm afraid that a lot of people might take his statements literally. He gives the classic empowering tips that people would really love to believe in and that keep coaches rich. Many of them are just empty words. For example, how do you know when you have aquired 80% of information? You can't. Is 80% the magic number for all types of decisions? He takes the work of great psychologists and violates them. Also, the mechanism described regarding stress is fully wrong and the leaving the comfort zone is typical empoewering gibberish.
There are tens of great videos on decision making. For anyone interested in the psychology of decision making, you can check: Barry Schwartz , Dan Gilbert , Malcolm Gladwell, Gerd Gigerenzer, Carol Dweck, Angela Lee Duckworth, Simon Sinek (some of whom are actual scientists)

4:18 nope. he's talking about robots. because that's what "emotional regulation" "self management" makes us become. NPC's of the system.

No new insights? That material is freakin old within the self help community. There are many new studies on the topic and you just repeated the five most famous books over and over? Next time you could just read covey in front of them. Would be more helpful since it's actually 'original' material. Cudos for doing a ted talk though.
Hi simple guy, thanks for the feedback. Good for you that you already knew some of those points I made. Not everyone does! My focus was to compress all that's important in 17 minutes and be entertaining at the same time. :) If I'd had more time I could have gone way deeper. Maybe next time!
So useless...
Good performance
Thanks a lot Ratul!
