Chic Read: Suzy Welch’s 10-10-10
Hi, my name is Erika Lehmann and I can’t make a decision to save my life. No, seriously. I am so indecisive that I drive my family crazy. I find it difficult to make decisions on every little thing, from what color shirt to buy to where I should grab a bite to eat. When I heard about Suzy Welch’s new book, 10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea
The book really helped me to take a look at the way I make decisions. It helped me to evaluate my current decision making process, which is usually to agonize over what choice will make me feel better, and what choice will leave me with the least amount of guilt in the long run. By evaluating them this way, I am able to see that even if something makes me feel good now, it may not do that later on, and vise versa. However, it teaches you how to do that based on your personal values, not ones that anyone else sets for you. Like I said, it’s a simple premise, but one that works.
The book is filled with personal stories from Welch as well as from others that she has encountered over the years as to how they have all put 10-10-10 into effect in their own lives, and how it has changed them for the better. This holds true for work, love, parenthood and other life situations you will enevitably encounter. The book itself is an easy read and very engaging, with tons of short snippets and tales of how 10-10-10 has worked for people in situations you may have never even contemplated. By the time I reached the middle of the book, I found myself contemplating even the smallest daily decisions in manner of 10-10-10. So, calling all indecesive decision makers! This book is for you. I truly believe this book has helped me to alleviate some of the guilt and pain surrounding some of life’s harder decsions, because it is easier to see a path that I want and follow it when I have prepared myself for all possible outcomes and consequences. If you love this kind of thing, be sure to grab your copy of 10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea
