I did enjoy the narration. I listen to a lot of business and self improvement books and assumed this was in that genre, but is isn’t. This is actually suppose to be about real ‘spy’ strategic thinking. It still applies to business thinking, so I am happy enough with it, but it could have been cut in half or even less and still have presented the same key ideas. Reason backward multiple levels to understand why you are where you are, reason forward based on your desired end goal (start at the goal, reason backward to your current position to see how to get to your goal). You also have to understand the motivations of your ‘opponent’ to anticipate their actions/reactions. All basic stuff, but a good reminder presented in an interesting manner.
