One Day University | Making Better Choices: The Art and Science of Rational Decision Making

The average American life expectancy is almost 80 years. A back of the envelope calculation suggests we spend 25 years sleeping, 11 years at work, 6-8 years shopping, 2 years watching commercials, and 30 years consuming digital media. In other words, we spend the majority of our time producing and consuming the output of enterprises. Have you considered the impact of your choices on your own quality of life or on society broadly? Enterprise literacy means an appreciation of the relationship between the products you buy, the firm you work for, and the societal values that are important you. Is it critical that you ask these questions: How do I get more satisfaction from my time and money, Who do I trust and why? What is important to me?
