"Yes, it's time to decide which management book to read next. To help you decide, I have read Luda Kopeikina's The Right Decision Every Time. And so I can now much better muster emotional resources, overcome procrastination, clearly set objectives, apply reason, establish context, and de-layer complexity. I can now clearly recommend that THIS be the next management book that you read. Kopeikina offers many insights into how best to make decisions, both corporate and not, but the ones I most appreciate reveal how to free your mind and body from their -- yikes -- "death habits." Kopeikina also recommends clarity of communication as a test of decisions, and she shows us how on every page of her fine book."

"The Right Decision Every Time is a wonderful book and should be mandatory (and life-saving!) reading for every executive. The ability to quickly and effectively focus your mind on the subject at hand, independent of what is going on around you is a critical skill that any leader has to master in order to excel. Most successful business people, myself included, pride themselves on their ability to 'multi-task' and accomplish large amounts of 'work' during the business day. This book made me realize that this very action has actually been a detriment to my assessing business goals and making more thoughtful or 'right' decisions. The Right Decision Every Time teaches us how to engage our subconscious at will, which enables us to make sound, clear decisions that are not in conflict with ourselves or our ultimate goal."

Debi Davis, CEO, Fit America
