So What? gets straight to the point so you can cut through the noise and
nonsense of work. Much of what we learn in our formative years is
unlearnt in later life. As grown-ups we are often unable to answer the
simplest of questions in a clear, direct way, and frequently have no
idea why we are doing something. This can lead to crippling inefficiency
in business, and goes some way to explaining why so many people spend so
much time doing things that have no bearing on the true purpose.
by behaving in a genuinely inquisitive way, you can get right to the
heart of the matter and save yourself hours, days, and even months of
anguish. The questions So what?, Why?, How?, and When? can be hugely
effective when applied in the right context, and this book shows you how
to use them.
Once all the right questions have been posed, there is a final sure-fire
method for testing whether something is relevant and helpful. By
completing the sentence "Something must be wrong if...", it is simple to
work out if you are wasting your time. For example, "Something must be
wrong if I don't want to go to work in the morning."
So What? shows you how to become truly inquisitive again. So let the
questions roll. Pay attention to what the answers are. Learn from them,
and you will immediately improve your prospects of finally getting
somewhere in life.
