It's not about the Shark

Resumen del libro

In the spirit of The Tipping Point and Freakonomics, David Niven presents a new way of decoding the riddles of the everyday choices we make.

Its Not About the Shark opens the door to the groundbreaking science of solutions by turning problems'and how we solve them'upside down. When we have a problem, most of us zero in, take it apart, and focus until we have it solved. David Niven shows us that focusing on the problem is exactly the wrong way to find an answer. Putting problems at the center of our thoughts shuts down our creative abilities, depletes stamina, and feeds insecurities. Its Not About the Shark shows us how to transform our daily lives, our work lives, and our family lives with a simple, but rock-solid principle: If you start by thinking about your problems, youll never make it to a solution. If you start by thinking about a solution, youll never worry about your problems again.
