10-10-10

Instead of acting on impulse or instinct alone, this guide to life management suggests we ask what impact a decision or action will have in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. It's a simple tool for making decisions in the realms of career, business, leadership, romance, health, friendship, marriage, and family. Journalist and former HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW editor Suzy Welch offers a smooth blend of insights about human nature and concise vignettes about how 10-10-10 has worked for dozens of people—including herself. Though her reading is determined and her pronunciation clipped at times, Welch sounds authentic and confident about her ideas. Most memorable is the sense of a warm human being who is willing to share her vulnerabilities and interested in helping her listeners. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2009]
