Why do we have a good feeling about a certain decision and a bad feeling about another? If we had the possibility to make emotionless decisions, would they necessarily be more correct for us? We tend to describe ourselves as rational people who act from cost-benefit considerations, however, our degree of control over decisions is little to zero. Studies done in recent years show that eighty percent of our decisions are made without conscious control. These unconscious processes are controlled by emotion to a greater extent than we would like to admit. What is the place of emotion in making the decision, can we trust our feelings? The lecture will allow a glimpse of what is happening in our minds and an understanding of the unconscious elements that direct our decisions.
