review 1: Reading The Click Moment will get you out of reading many other books. Specifically, books about how others achieved success in business or other endeavors. The Click Moment points out that the world (mostly the world of business and trends) is chaotic and fickle. Therefore success is not easily duplicated by following a formula like you would in fixed games like chess or tennis, where the rules are clear and do not change.Instead, you need to take advantage of 'Click Moments' which can become a brief window of opportunity or tipping points, but only in retrospect, and only if you act on them. This book shows you how to encourage Click Moments in your life, how to recognize them (or at least not dismiss them outright) and how to capitalize ("double down") on them.With plen... morety of real-world examples, The Click Moment gives weapons-grade philosophical advice that is understandable and actionable by real human beings. A must read for anyone involved in business, and a good dash of Eastern thought dressed in Western business/pragmatic sensibility.
review 2: This is another Wow! book. I recommend it to anyone who believes in the suite of books by VitalSmarts."The Click Moment" describes how unpredictable success in our world is. He contrasts this with fields in which the rules change very little over time. These are competitions in such things as tennis or chess. The author claims that if a person invests in 10,000 hours of practice in such a discipline that that person will become one of the best. But, most endeavors such as business, art...you name the area... does not have limited rules and factors effecting who will succeed and who will fail. The author says that when the right combination of factors come together it may be a novice who benefits with phenomenal success, not necessarily the person who has dedicated themselves to thousands of hours of practice of the discipline.The author encourages the reader to put themselves in the intersection of new experiences in order to be in a position to notice what he calls a "click" moment.The author admits that no one knows how to generate a perfect storm of success. If people did know how to do this then the ones who had done it once would repeat and repeat and repeat. Usually they can't. Yet, the author does provide 5 things a person can do in order to be more likely to succeed with "click moments" when they do occur. less
