A fascinating book. An unexpected book. How do 'we' make good decisions? Are good decisions derived from intelligence? Motivation? Self-control? Particular contexts?

This book explores how responsibility and accountability operates in decision making. More precisely, it explores how public policy can configure a framework in which good personal decisions are made, and the consequences of those decisions are owned.

I did not expect this book or its arguments, but it is welcome, and fascinating.

Expanded Understanding of Self Reliance is

A succinct, well-organized
and well documented book about the human potential and challenges for building much needed resilience and how public policy (and organizations) can support or damage it in people.

Everyone would benefit from this book, but it should be required reading for Therapists, Coaches Policymakers, Educators, Leaders and HR Professionals.

Everyone would benefit reading the facts about human development

It´s more a Dutch health report written in English than a real book about self-reliance. Dropped it after reaching approx. 20% at the kindle version.
