I am about 2/3 of the way through the book, The Best Question Ever. It is really good. The books premise is that you can avoid trouble, think clearly, and make sound decisions by asking the simple question: What is the wise thing to do?
The idea I got so far was not to ask if something is wrong when I come to a decision to make, but instead to think of "is this wise?". By making a small series of wise decisions, you can avoid pitfalls that are the conclusion of a long series of this isn't wrong decisions.
The other thing I liked so far, is that this can be applied to almost any part of your life. Whether it be planning your work or what to spend money on, the question lets you think it through.
What does all of this mean to me? Well, I am making a few small changes to my life. I think I live by some of the principles taught already, but there are a few areas of my life that can make some changes.
