Life is like a puzzle, except sometimes we're the pieces that just won't fit...mostly because we put them in the wrong place. And, yes, we're constantly bombarded with problems, like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. With our feet. Blindfolded. But here's the kicker: we're not just dealing with problems; we're tangled up in our own mess of misinterpretation. Our problem-solving skills are like a rusty old sieve - more holes than substance. We're our own comedy show, starring in "How Not to Solve Anything and Make More Problems Instead Then Get Pissed Off and Make Up Terms We Can Barely Execute On Like Minimum Viable Product."
It isn't that we're not good at puzzles. We are. We are born to solve puzzles. But we also are exceptional at being distracted. Most of the time, that noise is louder and more annoying than our problem solving mechanism is able to filter out organically. In other words, our filter is broken and we choose not to fix it.
In The Power of So, our hero, the author, takes us on a journey through the mishaps and mayhem of his life, learning valuable lessons along the way. From the wisdom of a mentor who preached "Do a good job and get paid" (genius, right?) to stumbling through the restaurant industry and tripping into a career in IT and Contact Center leadership, it's been a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions.
But fear not, dear reader! Amidst the chaos, there are nuggets of wisdom, sprinkled with a generous dose of humor. The author serves up bite-sized anecdotes, seasoned with obligatory quotes (because why not?) and even dares to quote himself (talk about shameless self-promotion).
And let's not forget the humor - because life's too short to take seriously. If you're not a fan of edgy language, maybe stick to Dr. whathisname while you eat a fox that is chartreuse on a train with a caboose chased by a truck-driving duck screaming something at you. But for those who dare to live a little, grab a copy of this book. Even the beta readers (who may or may not be genetically linked to the author) agree - it's a wild ride worth taking. Thanks, ma!
Learn here about little things that make a difference. Teams, ladders, gardens, blueberries, golfing, and stuff like words and things that help filter out the noise that distracts us from solving these daily problems. The same problems that vex us at home, at work, and in life in general. Be prepared to become a better problem solver. That is The Power of So.
