DECISIONS, DECISIONS THE SCIENCE OF CHOICE
CBC TELEVISION, THE NATURE OF THINGS
2026 | 44 mins
In Decisions, Decisions: The Science of Choice, host Anthony Morgan takes cameras into a blazing house fire, onto the street to conduct a series of unique experiments and inside his brain to reveal the latest discoveries in the field of decision science.
Every day we make countless decisions – potentially thousands each hour. But it turns out we humans have a very poor track record when it comes to making good decisions. The result is an explosion of research into the science of choice that affects us all.
Taking to the streets with top decision scientists, Morgan asks volunteers to estimate the height of Toronto’s famed CN Tower, takes them speed dating and serves them free burgers to uncover, in a clever and entertaining way, how easily our choices can be manipulated.
From improving our ability to play an instrument or drive a car to making better food choices, Morgan reveals how good decision-making can fundamentally change our lives.
