Paperback. A three-year-old at a window will teach you more about why your judgment is failing than any business book on your shelf. She points at a pickup truck and says "car." Her father corrects her. She is furious. She had a rule, the rule worked four times in a row, and the world just broke it. So she does something you stopped doing decades ago: she runs the experiment again. This is a book about one uncomfortable idea. Children learn faster than you because being wrong costs them almost nothing. You learn slower every year because being wrong now costs you a piece of who you are. Your expertise, your title, your track record, the very things you are proudest of, are quietly making you worse at the one thing that mattered: changing your mind when reality asks you to. You will meet the best salesman in a company who argued with a dead market for eighteen months and lost everything with excellent posture. You will learn to recognize the click (why being right and being confidently wrong feel exactly the same), the hard turn (the four-second event that is what changing your mind actually is), and arguing with the truck (why your smartest people build better and better cases for things that are no longer true). And then you will learn what to do about it. This is not a book of theory. It hands you working tools: a test for the lying click, an audit for finding the one belief that is secretly killing you, a way to hire for the question instead of the answer, and a way to protect this engine in a child instead of accidentally switching it off. It is written for anyone responsible for other minds, leaders, founders, parents, teachers, anyone who has watched a person or a company go rigid and call it wisdom. It is short on purpose. It is meant to be read in an evening and used the next morning. It also argues with itself, honestly, about when the box should not come off, because a book that only teaches doubt is dangerous, and you will be able to tell the difference by the end. Scroll up and buy it now. Then go find the one thing you are most sure of. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
