I’m not “inside” any longer. But John Braddock’s books are all excellent, and reflects the things spies of all kinds can follow. He gives us Practices in Thinking that have been honed by years of use in the world, by dozens of Officers, and passed down to Braddock in his training. Now that I am in Business, I find his suggestions for evaluating risk are spot-on. This was never taught well in any of my very expensive management training courses. Good writer and a very well-selected Narrator.

Completely accurate: From one once Inside

This is much like "A Spy's Guide to Strategy." The author probably should have made them into one book, instead of two very short books.

Much Like His Other Book

I enjoyed this book, but I don't believe I will be taking any more risks in my life. It is one thing to read about risks, it is quite another to take them.

Enjoyable listen

I got the Kindle version for reference and the Audible to listen in my car. Also, I got the Thinking and Strategy versions. I recommend the Risk one for those who work in risk management in business and security. All these three books provide easy and practical mental frameworks for daily use.

Another extraordinary book from John Braddock.
