This book really drives home the idea that doing nothing is the biggest risk. It clearly explains why forming hypotheses and moving forward with them is so important in work.
While reading, I kept reflecting on my own approach — am I actively thinking ahead, or just waiting to be told what to do? One benefit of working with hypotheses is the sense of control it gives you. Instead of passively waiting, you feel like you’re driving your own work.
It also reminded me that taking initiative isn’t just good for results, but for your mindset as well. Acting on your own assumptions and testing them makes work feel more engaging and intentional.
