Why We Choose What We Choose-And Rarely Know Why
Ever notice how you can justify almost any purchase after you've made it? That $200 pair of sneakers suddenly becomes an "investment in foot health." The luxury car transforms into a "safety decision for the family." We're remarkably skilled at constructing rational explanations for decisions that weren't rational at all. Consider this: when NBA players were asked who should take a game-winning shot, 76% chose Kobe Bryant-despite him missing 75% of such attempts. Meanwhile, Carmelo Anthony, who made 48.1% of game-winners compared to Bryant's dismal 25%, barely registered in their minds. These are professional athletes whose careers depend on understanding performance, yet they chose based on fame, salary, and gut feeling rather than evidence. This isn't stupidity-it's how human minds actually work. We make decisions through mental shortcuts: familiarity, status signals, physical attractiveness, and compelling narratives. Then we reverse-engineer logical justifications. Whether buying homes, choosing doctors, or selecting investments, we're driven by forces we barely recognize, let alone control.
