Good Book - The human ability to make decisions, to cogitate on different choices before taking action, is truly unique. Connectivity, comfort, conformity, and convenience have become
harmful facilitators of blindness to signals. The book gives an eye-opener to question every assumption. By stepping back from your inherited assumptions, you allow yourself to pick up on signals that you might have been otherwise ignoring. Once you’re able to do so, your decisions come down to a simple determination that you must make: Will this choice bring more potential energy to your life? Or will it cause entropy and disorder? These, of course, are physics terms that Riordan repurposed from his engineering education, but it amounts to a straightforward formula. If you take this action, will it lead to a succession of positive opportunities, events, and conditions, or will it
create confusion, chaos, and poor health?

The human ability to make decisions, to cogitate on different choices before taking action, is truly unique. Other animals simply act on instinct in line with what is most immediately essential for their proliferation. However, the fact that humans have advanced so far beyond this simple instinctual is, ironically, what has led to much of our poor decision-making.
