Making Accountable Decisions: A Journey to an Accountable Life
We struggle making decisions and most times we just wish someone would make them for us. What if that could all change and you could master the decisions you face in your life? The average person makes hundreds of decisions each day. They range from the ordinary and mundane to life-altering events. Many decisions we are faced with have little effect on our lives. They deal with the simple problems and require simple choices. However, there are those decisions which impact our lives and the lives of those around us in very significant and consequential ways. In Making Accountable Decisions, Sam Silverstein presents ways to approach our life’s decisions and how we interact with and affect others. He does this by focusing on the most substantial decisions in our lives, considering how they impact us and what decisions we can make to add value and meaning. Sam is the founder of The Accountability Movement™ and works with companies, government agencies and people around the world helping them build accountable cultures and live accountable lives. Building an accountable world is his life’s mission. Some people choose to let life happen. Some people make it happen. What’s your decision?

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
There was nothing new or original in this book, and mainly consists of common sense ideas and things that just seem really normal such as telling yourself not to strive for perfection. It mainly tells you to readjust how you think.

A decent, short book about accountability and being a good person, if somewhat repetitive in places.
