In this episode, you learn about a painful decision faced by a family to spend $20,000 to save a beloved pet. You discover a step-by-step process for making the best emotionally balanced decisions when head and heart don't agree.

Step-by-step questions to guide you in the decision process:

When facing a difficult choice, work through these questions in order:
* What am I feeling? * Why am I feeling it? * What are the objective facts? * What assumptions might be wrong? * What are the short-term consequences? * What are the long-term consequences? * Which option best aligns with my deepest values? * What advice would I give someone else? * After sleeping on it, does the answer change?

You also learn how to use your subconscious mind to make the best choice.
