Hey everyone, we all make big decisions the same way.

We ask advice from the friend who we're pretty sure will recommend the thing we already want to do.

Today's book is Decisive by Chip Heath and Dan Heath.

I'm Kellyn Erskine. I'm a comic, a father, and someone who has made at least 15 decisions.

And I'm David Vance.

Like Steve Jobs, I try to limit my daily decision-making,

but instead of 50 black turtlenecks,

I have 50 gray Toyota Corolla's.

Decisive is a book about making better decisions.

I just did the trolley dilemma in real life, and I aced it.

And this is the book pile.

Verie Yes, says, I've been ruminating for a week about how wrong Kellan is about saying

C.S. Lewis's writing is less sophisticated than J.R. Tolkien's, then I realized I've fallen into his trip. Being wrong is kind of

Kellyn's thing. Okay. This is the first time I'm reading this. J.K., Kellan is great. He's super

funny and definitely the best Satan of all the Satan's. Well, that sounds like an insult. If you

don't know the context. Don't explain it.

But also, it isn't fair to talk about how wrong I am about C.S. Lewis and frame it as if all I said was that he's unsophisticated.

I specifically said C.S. Lewis is a great fantasy writer, but I put him under Tolkien because he injected Santa Claus into a story.

Think of how your respect for the Lord of the Rings trilogy might diminish if at the end of this epic,

the Easter bunny hopped into Mount Doom

and helped Frodo destroy the ring.

In a way, Sauron is Santa.
