Publisher's Summary:
When do you get your best ideas? You probably answer "At night" or "In the shower" or "Stuck in traffic". You get a flash of insight. Things come together in your mind. You connect the dots. You say to yourself, "Aha! I see what to do."
Brain science now reveals how these flashes of insight happen. It's a special form of intuition. We call it strategic intuition, because it gives you an idea for action - a strategy.
This new book by William Duggan is the first full treatment of strategic intuition. It's the missing piece of the strategy puzzle that makes essential reading for anyone interested in achieving more in any field of human endeavor.
Critic Reviews:
"A concise and entertaining treatise on human achievement." (William Easterly, Wall Street Journal)
"William Duggan's book is really on point. His work has enormous implications for the teaching of strategy." (Glenn Hubbard, Dean, Columbia Business School)
Members Reviews:
Strong on content, pace and delivery
While this author has strong academic credentials, and clearly ensures that academic criteria are met, he does not get bogged down in academia. Statements are credited and referenced, giving me as the reader the sense that he speaks with authority. Even when he's saying things that are contrary to popular belief, you don't get the sense that he's saying them for sensationalist reasons or that they are unsubstantiated in any way.
This balance between credence and storytelling is a tenuous one, and he seems to get it right. If he errs, it's slightly on the academic, but I'd prefer that.
The narrator seems to be well chosen. Easy on the ear, without being attention-grabbing. He doesn't seem to get in the way of the text. Just simply conveying it clearly.
While this works really well as an audio book, I realise in hindsight that my preference would have been an ebook so that I could highlight and bookmark certain sections to compensate for my short memory. He gives very good definitions and clarifications, for example, on the concepts of karma and dharma, and then goes on to cite a whole range of examples, but later on, after a gap of a few days in listening, I had forgotten the details of the distinction between the two, and thus the significance of the examples was lost on me.
All in all, a great book that I have recommended to many people.
Everything is right if you lie to make it so...
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The only redeeming aspect of the book is when Bill cites true events and real knowledge he had nothing to do with.
