Much has been made of the power of habit. We’re encouraged to make healthy choices our default and to understand the way that the brain sets certain tasks, such as our morning commute, on autopilot to improve our efficiency.But what about our more intentional, conscious day-to-day choices? The decisions we ponder—over seconds or lengthy deliberation—rely in part on the value system, which weighs in on the subjective evaluations we make, tipping the scales toward one choice over another. “When we understand how the value system works, we can recognize many possible paths to our goals,” says Emily Falk, a neuroscientist…
