Sorting It Out

Robin Gregory is a parent and grandparent, Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, and Senior Research Scientist at Decision Research, Oregon. He helps families, communities, and governments worldwide address difficult decisions involving diverse perspectives, uncertainty, and tough trade-offs in ways that reflect and help achieve their values. Brooke Moore is a parent, Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, and a District Principal in the Delta School District, British Columbia. Throughout these roles, both professional and personal, she is motivated by a vision where all young people can move into adulthood with dignity, purpose, and options, a phrase she learned through her work with the Network of Inquiry and Indigenous Education.

'A remarkable book. I only wish I'd had it when starting out with my own family. It distils several decades of complex scientific and social research into a format that is both accessible and enjoyable. The structure is engaging and the 'back-pocket' summaries are especially well done. It makes excellent use of the new knowledge in decision analysis and social psychology that has emerged over the last few decades. Brilliant and well done.' Mark Burgman, Imperial College London
