Why Decision Making Is So Hard August 3rd, 2012 If I can’t even decide what to order in a restaurant, then, My God, how am I supposed to make a decision like: Do I want to have a baby? Or, do I want to write a memoir or a “How To” book or should I do another retreat to Italy again or go to Aruba? Should I have coffee or tea? I am in a restaurant having dinner. Waiter comes over.

Thursday night, as I was teaching in SoHo at Yoga Vida, there was this moment when I caught my reflection in the windows facing Broadway.
