Sartre figured something out in a prisoner of war camp: the refusal to choose is still a choice. Dan Gilbert, a high school dropout turned Harvard happiness researcher, discovered that your brain has a psychological immune system that makes you feel better about your decisions after you make them, especially the irreversible ones. We get into why committing to the wrong thing still teaches you more about yourself than committing to nothing, how regret almost always clusters around inaction rather than action, and the grief that comes with cutting off the versions of yourself you'll never get to live.
