How did the US Airways pilot decide so quickly to land his disabled plane in the Hudson River? We take up the question of how we make decisions, and why sometimes we don’t make the best ones.

Guests:

Jonah Lehrer, editor at large for Seed Magazine and author of "How We Decide" and "Proust Was a Neuroscientist"

Zachary Shore, associate professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and author of "Blunder: Why Smart People Make Bad Decisions"
