137. Decision Fatigue

Lives of Courage with Jessica Stong

Do you ever feel exhausted after making decision after decision? Or maybe you're mentally exhausted at the end of the day? At the end of a long week?

We have SO many choices day in and day out: what to do, what to eat, what to wear, how to parent, what you should listen to, what book to read.

Often, at the end of the day, we experience something called decision fatigue.

In this week's episode we are discussing decision fatigue and ego depletion, the role of sugar on our decisions, how we aren't broken when we get tired from making decisions AND what to do when you're cognitively fatigued.

As discussed, I highly recommend John Tiernay and Roy Baumeister's book called Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength.
