Has anyone read it? Would you recommend it? http://www.amazon.com/Zurich-Axioms..._bbs_sr_1/103-4703497-5395855?ie=UTF8&s=books
someone here in et recommended reading the book. I read it and was a total waste of time. On the plus side it was an easy read and didnt take too much time to finish it off. I dont recall learning a single thing from the book.
Is it more like a philosophy book that gets you to think more than teaching you new things? What else is in this book apart from these? -Hope - When the ship starts to sink, don't pray, jump. -Forecasts - Human behavior cannot be predicted, distrust anyone who claims to know the future. -Patterns - Chaos is not dangerous until it begins to look orderly. -Mobility - Avoid putting down roots, they impede motion. -Intuition - A hunch can be trusted if it can be explained. -Religon and the occult - It is unlikely that Gods plan for the universe includes making you rich. (plus God must really love poor people, afterall he made so many of them) -Optimism and pessimism - Optimism means expecting the best, but confidence means knowing how to handle the worst. -Consensus - Disregard the majority opinion, it is probably wrong. -Stubbornness - If it doesn't pay off the first time, forget about it. -Planning - Long-range plans engender the dangerous belief that the future is under control. It is important never to take your long-range plans, or others plans seriously.
