I was excited to get Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets, not because these are completely new and original ideas about wise decision-making, but because Andy Stanley does such a great job of taking challenging truth and making it painfully applicable to my life.
As a regular attender at one of Andy’s Atlanta-area churches who has been listening to him for over 25 years, I have heard most of the content in this book at some point before. But this book is such a simple and easy read that I am amazed how rich it is! I read through the whole book in just a few hours over two days, but highlighted 229 phrases or passages that I found highly impactful.
The stories that Andy uses to illustrate the principles, a mix of his own experiences and biblical narratives, is very engaging and powerful. Even at times when the content might be difficult to accept, the illustrations make the truth both compelling and inviting. My takeaway from many of the application examples was it often seemed easier said than done, and yet I felt so drawn to the outcomes that I was inspired to try asking these questions in my own life.
The timing of this book is excellent, because this has been a challenging season in so many ways, and it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and what matters most when making so many difficult decisions in high pressure circumstances. By far the legacy question is the one that I find most helpful to refocus on the bigger story and pull up from the weeds.
Asking what love requires of me is constantly one of the most challenging questions I wrestle with, often because deep down I know, yet the answer is hard and costly. Andy very bluntly points out that this is the only question with no guaranteed return. Loving others well might not ever be reciprocated or appreciated, and yet is such a powerful application to find clarity in even the most difficult and cloudy decision contexts.
This is such an easy read, yet is powerfully rich and so applicable for doing life better one decision at a time!

About the author
A Crescendo
I loved how this book built to such a crescendo; it inspired me to better thinking. I read a chapter each day to give each question time to really sink into my soul. I found myself wanting to post a tweet or message that Chapter X , or question X was the best. Full of personal scenarios and biblical insights, the book challenged me to think about past and future decisions in a way I wouldn’t have before reading this book.Andy’s good stories, that I could tie to moments in my life (growing up, raising kids, working with others in church and vocationally), gave me confidence to face the future decisions in my life Better. The questions and stories in the book are easy to share with others in all facets of life.Ultimately the final question is the best and most comprehensive. Andy reminds us that serving and loving others the way Jesus did is a high calling we are all worthy of, and is relevant for these divisive times. If we could all just live by that question day by day, we wouldn’t need all the other ones and our world would be a better place. Read this book, take time to let each chapter connect to your story and have its full effect. Make the decision to read this book; you won’t regret a minute spent doing so.
