Re: Alan Schoonmaker\'s Opinion For My Next Book
Mason, this is a fantastic idea. People love history, especially "what if?" scenerios. People also love vicarious gambling. If the two could be combined in an enjoyable, fluidly readable way it would be a great book.
As I read David's posts about sports coaching and the repeated "obvious" errors they make, it parallels decisions made by historical figures such as war generals, politicians, and business leaders. This could be a very interesting read.
I would also like to see the book detail the evolution of people's erroneous decisions. This could take famous stories from the past, show why and how a bad decision was made, and we could learn how to make better decisions for ourselves in our own important moments.
