      abstract = {Making the right medical choices is harder than ever.  Whether deciding on a cholesterol drug or choosing a cancer  treatment, we are overwhelmed by information from all  sides: our doctors' recommendations, dissenting expert  opinions, confusing statistics, conflicting media reports,  the advice of friends, claims on the Internet, and a  never-ending stream of drug company ads. This book shows us  how to chart a clear path through this sea of confusion.  Drs. Groopman and Hartzband reveal that each of us has a  set of deeply rooted beliefs whose profound influence we  may not realize when we make medical decisions. Recognizing  our preferences and the external factors that might lead  our thinking astray can make a dramatic, even lifesaving,  difference in our medical decision making. The authors drew  on research and insights from patients, doctors,  psychologists, economists, and other experts to help reveal  the array of forces that can aid or impede our  thinking.--From publisher description.},
