I hesitated about 2-3 stars, ultimately I found the advice slightly generic and too surface level. It has great graphics but the writing didn’t draw me in as much as I wanted, and found myself glossing over pages. Sorry if the author ever reads this, nothing personal I promise!

Fine but forgettable. Loved the final few pages, a collection of random examples from people on decisions that changed their lives

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this book after hearing Ms. Adhami speak and am glad I did! Helpful tools for decision making in the modern world that I've already begun to apply.
