Don't we all just go along with our doctors and what they recommend? This book changed my mind about going with the flow. It really makes you stop and think about what you've been doing in regards to your health care. Written by a physician, it points out that ultimately, your health-care decisions are in your hands alone. Do you really need that medication, laboratory test or surgery?  The answer to those questions is the reason why it is so important to choose your physician with care, and this book really helps you to make all those choices wisely, based on common-sense questions. I highly recommend that you read the book...at this time with so many changes in our health-care system, it might make all the difference to your quality of care.

One problem that strong leaders face is getting honest advice and then making a decision based on the best information and opinions available. Adolf Hitler is a classic case in point where he was so convinced that he was infallible that he wanted only yes-men around. At the other extreme, we've all met people who study things forever and refuse to make a decision. The critical point is to gather all the information and opinions possible, and then to not be afraid to make a decision.

In this book Dr. Roberto  combines these points with the need for all participants in the decision making process to come to a consensus on the best way to proceed. As he puts it, too often individuals involved begin viewing 'the situation as a contest to be won or a test of wills.' This can leave the 'loser' in a position where he feels ignored or sidelined enough that he decides to leave. Or, it can create as he puts it, 'a culture of indecision' where decisions don't get made at any level.

I was also interested in his discussion of assigning an official 'Devils Advocate' to look at a project. He reports that JFK assigned two devils advocates to present contrasting views of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This obviously worked out well. As we now know, the Soviet military in Cuba had short range nuclear weapons in stock and were prepared to use them in the case of an invasion.

We are in a period where great changes in the world economy are upon us: the growth of China, constantly rising energy costs, the growth of terrorism in much of the world. It is a time when we will need 'Great Leaders,' in business and elsewhere. Decision making is what great leaders do, and the processes laid out here offer new insight into managing this decision process.

We all make decisions we may later regret. That make us have to start over, in the process we have to have hope that the outcome will be better this time around.

How often have we been told that if you do something, you will regret it later?  How often have we been convinced that the worst will happen if we take that blind leap of faith, or put off something for later until we are sure it's safe to proceed?  Ralph Keyes, in this thoughtful and though-provoking book, gets to the heart of the matter of second thoughts and how they can be used to give us perspective of where we have been, and where we can go from here.  After I finished reading "Second Thought" I mused awhile about regrets along the way, and found that the regret which had the biggest impact on my life was when I did not go to see the Fighting Illini in the Rose Bowl while I was in college.  It wasn't the money -- I had a savings account -- it was a parent saying it wasn't necessary.  After that, I began to change my perspective on life, sometimes holding back, but often taking that chance, seeking out something new and different.  And, now I say, "If not now, then when?"  Case in point.  I received a phone call from a high school classmate, asking if I was going to attend our 50th (Yikes!) high school reunion.  I had not planned on attending, but after talking with her, I decided to go, back to the town where I grew up and went to college. No regrets about going back. "Second Thoughts" is about how we see our lives in retrospect, about what we have done and not done, and how that affects us now.  It's a special book which will foster conversation among readers.

Can a simple decision change our lives permanently for the better? Yes.

When life hands us struggles or challenges or problems (or whatever euphemism you use to talk about when life gets hard), decision-making sometimes seems cloudy.  Recently I read a thought-provoking book on decision-making called "What Do I Do Now?" by Dr. Charles Foster.  In it, he lays out 30 laws of good decision-making he's developed from his over 14 years of studies with tons of participants.

Maybe this sounds a little dry, but believe me - it's anything but dry.  Better decisions about our lives and activities can have resounding results capable of creating great joy, opportunity, prosperity and peace in our lives.

Just as a little taste of what's in there, I'll share some of my notes:

Law #1 - Focus on the most important thing.

(Wow, there's a great rule.  Well, duh!  I've heard this before.  Yada, yada, yada! But wait... then Dr. Foster reveals...)

How do you recognize the most important thing?

* It's something that will make your life wonderful. (Oh, yeah.  I forgot that decisions can do that.  Good point.)

* Or it's something that will enable you to take care of your most important responsibility. (Yeah, when that's taken care of, I'll breathe easier.  Sounds sensible.)

* Or it's something that will make it possible for you to solve your biggest problem. (Oh, yeah.  That's right.  Decision-making is about solving problems, not drowning in ambivalence.)

* Or it's something that will address one huge, stubborn fact you've been refusing to accept. (Hey, buddy, what are you implying? That my lack of focus on making good decisions and taking action might be a problem for me?  Errr, well, I kinda see your point.)

* Or it's something that fits who you really are.  (You mean it's OK for me to value myself as highly as I value others?  That if I do what the Big Guy put me here to do, that might be a great decision?  Maybe I should do more to fulfill my purpose.  And maybe that would actually make me happier.  What a concept!)

Law #2 - Don't Decide Until You're Ready

(I didn't have a problem with this concept.  I take my dear sweet time already.  I need to think more about his Law #4 - Choose It or Lose It.)

Law #3 - Look for all the good things that can happen.

(In the middle of struggle, we often fail to see the great things that can come of making good decisions.  If we don't yield to the pressures of the moment, we can list out all the great things that can happen from making a good decision.  Just so you'll start to think about what GOOD things can happen, the good doctor lays out...)

Four Flavors of Good Things That Can Happen

1. You get more of what you were hoping for.

2. You get something from them that you never imagined you'd get.

3. The outcome you were looking for might be much more likely to happen than you realized.

4. The outcome comes with a smaller price tag than you thought.

(I think you're getting the idea here.  Better decisions lead to better outcomes - often unforseeably better.)

I hope the notes above give you some enjoyable food for thought.  There are 26 other great thought-provoking, decision-spurring laws in the book.  This guy spent the last 14 years studying this stuff and his ideas are elegantly simple and clear.  Some may seem obvious but believe me - this guy makes each point alive with possibilities and how-to's.

In closing, let me just remind you of Law #8.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE BETTER OPTIONS.

Don't let yourself be mired in the challenges of life.  You can choose the answers you need, the answers that make sense for you.  I hope you choose something that will make your life wonderful today.

This kind of "make it right now" comes and goes.  Have not done many of the 20  decisions myself, must decide for your self.

NO RAGERTS!

I have tried other brands for my choc lab, some gave her loose stools and others gave her skin and ear allergies.  When I came across this grain free food I thought why not give her a try?  It was the best decision I have made, she loves the food, her stools look healthy and does not stink as bad as other branded food gave her.  She is on her second bag now and her conditions are better than before.  I would recommend it to other dog owners who are bothered by health issues.

Derrick has written a terrific book on the wonderful choices in life. His research relates life choices through the wisdom of the ages and shows in detail how to achieve one's personal goals. Life should not just happen.  We always have choices and we need to recognize their arrival.
