About this listen

You know the grey, windowless waiting room: the place where you stall because you’re terrified of choosing wrong.

In The Crossroads, Ricky Ponting dismantles the biology and psychology of indecision and hands you a practical playbook to break free.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your brain treats choosing a restaurant like defusing a bomb
  • How to kill the myth of the “perfect” choice (and become a happy Satisficer)
  • The 10-10-10 Rule, the Freudian Coin Flip, the 48-Hour Experiment, and other tactical tools that bypass fear
  • How to prototype life decisions like a startup (without blowing up your life)
  • Why post-decision panic is normal—and how to ride the J-Curve to the other side
  • How to tell the difference between Fear (loud) and Intuition (quiet)

This is not a book that tells you what to choose.

It’s the book that teaches you how to choose and how to make any path the right one.
