Michael is a “Big” thinker and unfortunately we don’t teach or practice big thinking. We suffer from information overload. Americans are up to date on the latest survey but don’t know what the results mean. We cannot “connect the dots” to see the big picture and cannot understand what the data means. Worse, we let other tell us the meaning.
I am about 1/2 way through the book and find it very interesting. I will forward the interview to friends and family with my recommendation that they read the book.
