Some of the toughest decisions in life are so called 'should vs. want' conclusions: you know that you should be working out at the gym, but you'd rather go to the movies with friends. It really is not that folks don't know what they should be doing, they just act in a seemingly irrational mode when confronted with tempting consumption chances.
The authors introduce the Theory of Decision Points, which implies that outside interventions can help individuals think about consumption and control excessive ingestion by supplying them with an opportunity to pause. They reveal that in the instance of people who are seeking to control consumption, decision points can snap them out of an automatic mode to a more deliberative decision making mode.
