Publisher's summary

Wall Street Journal best seller | An indispensable guide to decision-making and risk-taking for anyone who finds themselves afraid of making a wrong choice in their career. This fresh, new approach comes from one of the most highly regarded and well-respected female tech executives in Silicon Valley, who made many wrong choices in her career, but learned how to turn those down moments into successes.

Life is made up of a series of choices. What do you do if one of those choices turns out poorly, especially if it was carefully considered? How do you trust your instinctive decision-making skills and make the next right choice? How do you continue to take risks when, suddenly, your risks are not working out?

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most highly regarded and well-respected female tech executives in Silicon Valley, but she’ll be the first to admit that her path to success has been far from linear. She started three companies that have done exceedingly well, including theBoardlist (an organization designed to promote and place women onto corporate boards), and she just served as president of StubHub, which sold earlier this year for $4 billion.

But she’s also encountered plenty of poor choices, misfires, unexpected headwinds, and all other types of pitfalls that she had to learn how to confront, analyze, navigate, and incorporate into her new path forward. From her own experience, she knows that personal success does not come from making one singular “correct” or “big” decision. Rather, long-range success comes from tackling numerous choices that are aimed to optimize future possibilities.

Singh Cassidy’s “seven myths of success,” as well as her advice on how to make FOMO into your friend, multiply your “bets” in life, and understand why you shouldn’t be blinded by “passion bias,” all provide an entirely new way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success.

Highly Recommend!

This book is great for people in any stage of life really. Sukhinder did a great job of articulating the thoughts that many people have, but are unable to voice. As a young person with high aspirations in corporate America, this book could not have been more timely. Thank you Sukhinder for releasing the book of the year!

Review

Good Story - I was able to pull some tips - I was looking for more of the mechanics on how to strive in that business entrepreneural environment. Maybe I misunderstood the intent of the book. Nonetheless, I applaud her amazing success, hopefully she writes another book and breakdown how she applied some of her lessons learned and advise she was given in more detail.

Quality examples combined with strong action items

I love Sukhinders' story telling model. She starts a chapter with a story, then using the story she explains the lesson learned. This model has been quite eye opening as it's relatable for many of us. Her real life examples and drops of motivation truly gives us confidence in her writing and her story.

I highly recommend this book, if you want to rewire your understanding of Risk.

Not relatable

Even with 3 advanced degrees I found this not relatable. The goal of these career opportunities is not education of oneself, making life better for others or innovation for humanity. This has an unsaid foundation of money and prestige. While this is why most people do work, 90% of people don’t have this drive or Ivy League ambition or contacts of this context. And that’s ok, obviously there are niche books, and that’s terrific!

This is basically a memoir

This entire book is about the authors personal career it’s not actually clear findings so much as her musings on her story.

it was ok.

it was an ok book. not bad, just ok. I found the stories mostly blah with no real sparkles, in simpler words unrelatable. this whole book could have been a 2(Maybe 3) pages article about the author's personal and professional journey.

More like an autobiography...

The learnings could be summarized in 5 min, the rest is the byography of the author and a detailed description of her career
