Rethink your way to a better life In business, and in life, everything is changing fast, apart from how we behave. Our ways of thinking and making decisions have changed little since we lived in agricultural and industrial societies, but the problems we now need to solve are entirely different. It requires a revolution in thinking and behavior to meet the challenges that now face us and avoid disaster we need to totally rethink the model. Part business biography, part business blueprint, Total Rethink explains how this can be done. Successful telecoms entrepreneur David McCourt lays out the reality of the dangerous situation we find ourselves in and suggests solutions which will empower everyone, including business people, politicians, diplomats, and teachers, to repair the damage we have already done, and prepare for the dramatic changes to come. • Change the way you think and behave to be a true entrepreneur • Understand why incremental change no longer works • Move at the speed of the times we’re living in to keep up • Find trusted, effective guidance you can put to practice today Written by a sought-after speaker, businessman, and entrepreneur, the advice inside this book will help you learn to think―and live―like a revolutionary.
Amazing. This guy thinks in such a simple yet innovative way. The most inspiring book I've read so far this year. Being able to get to that level of entrepreneurial success whilst maintaining integrity and having a conscience around the way things could actually be done to benifit all humans is a breath of fresh air.
Total Rethink was actually quite interesting. The book broke a lot of ideas streaming from the status quo and gave an updated definition of what it means to be a revolutionary entrepreneur.
Total Rethink inspired me to think bigger and different. As the author puts it, we should try to blow up existing models and revolutionize whole industries. All these lessons come from his personal experience and story, which I loved reading about!
Admittedly I skimmed this (it’s cool there’s a chapter on reading books in an hour). There are 80 small chapters, each featuring a productivity tip, some repeated. Not really useful for me, though there were a couple I’ll try.
