It's tough sometimes to see where the puck is going- you don't always have all the information, but it's worse if you aren't even in the rink or don't have a stick...in other words- some base level of being ready, some base level of awareness is important, so you have the tools to choose a direction when needed. @Jonny- I like Back of the Napkin as well- great adjunct to Made to Stick as a way of learning to visualize concepts, and get points across visually as well as through writing/speaking.

The book is about using simple hand drawn visuals to solve business problems. I would love someone to do a clear visual to explain what led to the current economic implosion. A book I'm rereading: "Flow: the Psychology of Optimal Experience". It's a great examination of part of what it takes to lead a fulfilling life--the ability to find challenges that are a good match for your skills and interests.

I find it hard to believe that more did not see this coming as the signs were obvious and many were writing and talking about it years ago. Recently Warren Buffet wrote in NYT about following "Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.” That is key, and getting out of groupthink. When tons of low wage earners were "buying" 1/2 million dollar homes with O down, EVERYBODY should have been paying attention to the inevitable. There were many good books out about how to prepare for and even do well in the coming collapse. Rubino, Turk, RGE, Shiller, Ellen Brown, Peter Schiff, Jim Sinclair all come to mind and more. We are so glad now that we sold our dream home in California at peak in 2005 and mostly got out of the dollar. The key is always to look ahead to where that "puck" is most likely to go, but even more so in these turbulent times. Those that are paying attention will do great in this economy and those that are not, could get run over by it.

The trick is to develop a sense of resiliency, so you bounce back and make new mistakes next time- learn, correct, move on. Nothing is ever perfect, but the more you learn, the less likely you are to repeat the same mistakes over and over. And unless you own the mistakes, you're more likely to make 'em all over again.
