Read this book. But, before you do, suspend what you already believe is true about the way the world is and operates.

The good news is that - in typical Randy Gage style - it will be fun, entertaining, and just sarcastic enough to keep you riveted to every page. Get out your pen and highlighter...you're gonna' need it!”

Randy and I don’t see eye-to-eye on some things, which is why this book freaks me out. Mainly because he’s right.

I divide learning into 2 categories: Direct Learning and Collision Learning. Direct learning is when someone says 'X' to you and 'X' is valuable. Collision Learning is when someone says 'X' to you, 'X' makes you think of 'Y' and 'Y' is valuable to you. Randy's book offers HUGE opportunities for both forms of learning (which is rare) on topics that are absolutely critical at this point in history. I recommend it highly.”
