  I am astonished!

  This is the right book to tell you why we need wrong decisions.

  Right decisions are right because they are safe, dull and predictable. And they are the decisions that everyone else does.

  So if you don't want to be "everyone else", you should make wrong decisions.

  This is the right book to tell you why we need wrong decisions.

  Right decisions are right because they are safe, dull and predictable. And they are the decisions that everyone else does.

  So if you don't want to be "everyone else", you should make wrong decisions.

  Here I'd like to quote from the author:

  "The unsafe decision causes you to think and respnd in a way you hadn't thought of.

  And that thought will lead to other thoughts which will help you achieve what you want."

  Go get the book. It would be the one of the rightest decisions you've ever made.

  As good as expected

  As fun, compact, and inspiring as his previous book "It's not what you are, it's what you want to be". Put a copy at your desk and flip it every now and then. Well worth the money.

  A simple book but yet thought provoking. An easy to read book that could challenge your own way of thinking. Whether you agree or not is not important.

  One idea that strikes me most is:

  Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you've got, and fix it as you go.

  One idea that strikes me most is:

  Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you've got, and fix it as you go.

  This is an area that I can work on as close friends always say I am thinking too much.

  Impressive... And it's encouraging for me think differently and take risks, especially during hardship in career.

  Favorite words:
  "Most people are reasonable, that's why they only do reasonably well."

  "Next time, instead of asking if it's right, ask them what's wrong"

  This book is not just a self-help book, I insist. Page after page Arden fills the book with inspirational stories and anecdotes, illustrated with creative images that hit right at the point. Arden encourages people to think opposite, to take risk and to explore their potentials. The ideas are far from cliche, considering how many of us are used to follow the old path, to live a life that is forseeable. It takes less than an hour to read through the book, but the ideas may take some time to sink in.
