Obliquity

Why Our Goals Are Best Achieved Indirectly

John Kay

Gain insight into achieving complex goals with economist John Kay's revolutionary book, which proves that the best way to achieve any broadly defined goal is the indirect way. Using a gradual process of risk taking and discovery, known as obliquity, Kay shows how this seemingly counterintuitive path to success manifests itself in nearly every aspect of life, including business, politics, sports, and more. Get ready for a fast-paced and engaging detective story where the surprising secret to success is uncovered.

@d_f_stone @EconTalker I completely agree. The @peterthiel book, along with @ProfJohnKay 's Obliquity, is the best short read for businessfolk since R Updegraff's Obvious Adams and The Specialist by Charles Sale.      source
