Decisioning Theories

When to Listen to Your Heart (which is also a Liar)

It's a common conundrum: your heart is screaming "DO IT!" but your brain is all "uh, no, wait, think about it." Well, here's the thing: sometimes your heart is right. Like, have you ever had a heart attack? No? Okay, moving on.

But seriously, when should you listen to your heart? Only when it's not, say, a heart-shaped pillow or a heart-shaped sink, because those are both pretty great, but not really decision-making aids. Unless, you know, you're a plumber with a penchant for interior design.
