My friend Steven Johnson has a new book out called Farsighted.
After attending a book talk he did on Thursday night, I put it on my Kindle and started reading it last night.
The book is about decision making, specifically “life-altering decisions” with long-term consequences.
In classic Steven fashion, he combines a detailed look at academic research and science on the topic with stories and real-world examples.
For example, he kicks off the book with the decision NYC made to fill the Collect Pond in 1811, which ultimately led to the creation of one of the most famous ghettos, the Five Points neighborhood.
We all make big and important decisions in our lives and in our business. So this is a topic that should be relevant to everyone.
I am already enjoying reading it and I suspect you all will too.
