Smart Decisions Still Go Wrong: Second-Order Thinking and the Consequences You Don’t See
Beyond understanding second-order thinking, you’ll discover why you’re trapped in reactive mode. Your brain treats every alert as urgent, every email as critical. But clarity comes from knowing what to ignore.
Successful people aren’t smarter—they’re more selective. They see the full consequences of their choices before committing. They distinguish between solutions that feel good now and solutions that actually work.
This book rewires how you decide. You’ll move from overwhelmed and reactive to intentional and architected. Instead of constantly firefighting problems, you’ll design systems that compound over time. Instead of borrowing success from the future, you’ll build it deliberately.
The result: decisions that align with reality, not wishful thinking. Actions that compound. A life that gets better instead of requiring constant management.
