I loved this book. The next one by the authors - NOT DOING - is great too.
Good "table book", not very well structured and i can't shake the feeling that it could've been a long and well written magazine article. Some examples are good, but most "life stories" are too cliché and repetitive in the end.

A fascinating book. Common wisdom states that knowledge is king but perhaps there are times when knowledge hampers us. It leads us to think we know the right approaches, spurn creativity and fail to respond in the most effective way to the challenges in our path.

It is simply the best book I have ever read. A fool thinks he is wise but a wise person thinks he is a fool. This book will help you embrace uncertainty into biggest opportunities, breaking boundaries to achieving the impossible. This books helps build wisdom and yet retain exploratory mindset.
structure of this book is non existing, they collected (not even linked) examples of fearless thinking out of box, may be used as a good table book.
