Another book I highly recommend is "TAKE THE RISK" by, and about Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson grew up in the ghetto and faced many obsticals due to his race and enviroment. He eventually became a world-class neurosurgeon based at John Hopkeins hospital. Most of his work was with children. Some of his surgeries involved separation of conjoined twins and hemispherectomamies (removing half of the brain).
As the title indicates, we face many risks in our lifetime and are faced with decisions that aren't easy to make. He has a formula he uses to help make decisions. He refers to it as B/WA (best, worst analysis). It goes as follows;
What is the worst that could happen in taking the riask?
What is the best that could happen in taking the risk?
What is the worst that could happen not to take the risk?
What is the best that could happen not to take the risk?
This is a very simple way to help come to a logical decision when we are in a risk situation whether it's regarding our health, finances, a job or any other questionable situation in our life.
