This episode of the Chase the Impossible Podcast, hosted by Austra Putnina, features Dr. Graham Norris, an organisational psychologist, futurist, and expert in futures thinking and decision-making, and makes a compelling listen for anyone who feels paralyzed by choices, prone to overthinking, or stuck in endless planning loops.
Dr. Norris unpacks the psychology behind why we overcomplicate decisions, explaining how separating what's within our control from what isn't can dramatically reduce anxiety and sharpen focus. He introduces practical frameworks such as adopting an "experimental mindset," treating decisions as small, testable bets rather than irreversible commitments. He also explores the research-backed concept of "satisficing" (choosing the good-enough option quickly) versus relentless optimizing, showing that the satisficers often end up happier even if not always richer.
