The opening of the book

The opening

There is a question most of us are quietly asking, all day long: “How good am I?”

It keeps a scorecard. Every success raises the number; every failure lowers it; every comparison rewrites it. Confidence built this way can never be steady, because the tally never closes.

But there is another question — the fork in the road of this book: “What is the next right thing to do?”

One question asks you to judge who you are. The other asks you to master what you do. This book is about trading the first for the second.
