The decision to what extent one wants to have children has significant consequences for the individual, the couple, and the family. That’s why it’s a decision that needs to be thought about carefully. In the Sunday edition of Die Presse, I give some advice for this particular decision. You can find Ms. Gabriel’s article, which is well worth reading, here: https:\/\/www.diepresse.com\/6238448\/kinderfrei-leben-ohne-reue<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend making decisions proactively and taking your own destiny into your own hands as your decision architect. I explain this background in this #TEDxTalk: https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/johannes_siebert_nudge_yourself_to_make_better_decisions<\/a>, which has been well received and already has over 150,000 views and 5,000 likes; I am happy about every additional view and like😊.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For even more interested on the topic, check out this free MOOC Smart Decisions (https:\/\/imoox.at\/course\/smartentscheiden<\/a>). Those even more interested in deciding to what extent to have children will find further input in an interview in the Standard from August 2022.
