Netflix – watched everything.
Amazon Prime – watched what was good.

“Give me a place to stand on and I can move the Earth.” – Archimedes
Once upon a time, I was young and strong.
Throughout high school, and part of college, I worked summers as a landscaper. My boss loved to give me the hardest jobs, because he knew I wanted to be challenged. Dig a hole 6 feet by six feet by six feet – with only a shovel and pickax. Move truckloads of wood mulch with a wheelbarrow. Rip out a tree stump without any power tools.

My goal each year is to read a book a week. I open a book, divide the number of pages by 7, and calculate my daily reading diet. I also keep a book on my nightstand, reading a few pages before going to sleep. Friends, bookstores and the local library keep the stocks filled.

The book is broken out into sections that focus on each step of the process. Chip and Dan include studies and anecdotes to demonstrate the benefits of each step, as well as the consequences when people fail to follow a wise course of action. Some of the stories are famous examples of good and bad decisions, while others are based on the Heaths’ clients.
The WRAP process can’t guarantee that you’ll make a good decision every time. But the odds are in your favor when you follow these four easy steps.
