How will you measure your life?

By James Allworth & Karen Dillon

 

Good book. Reread. How do I want to summarize it…

 

This book won't tell you what to think, but how to think…

 

Questions to ask…

 

Emergent v.s. deliberate strategy. How do we balance calculation & planning with serendipity and luck? Many of the best things in life are opportunities that we never planned on. Without a plan we can wander aimless. Our first plan is likely to be wrong We must continually learn and adapt.

 

How do you make sure you implement the plan you really want? Watch where your resources go.

 

What job are you there for? What does your spouse need you to do in your relationship? Your customers? Your Boss?

 

We grow by having new experiences and we grow by sticking with an experience, and digging into it deeply, learning it's inherent conflicts and compromises, and figuring out how to solve it's problems for ourselves. Real growth requires both. Coping with a unpleasant people is a valuable skill.

 

The trap of marginal thinking. This is the innovators dilemma. You  have to decide what you want to be great at and not allow those skills to be whittled away a bit at a time.
