[.ca] Get Off the Fence!: The 10 + 1 Steps to Help You Make ... (ISBN 0757300510)

YES!:
This book changed my life...for the best it has ever been! Thanks to the authors. This is something everyone should read. Good luck!

Very helpful!!! I've been waiting for this...:
This is the first book I have found that deals with life's most perplexing "big decisions." Finally!!! When I saw this book, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I've been on the fence with a major relationship decision for well over a year now, which has been terribly difficult. I went away for a weekend to read "Get Off the Fence!" and I REALLY liked the no-nonsense, psychobable-free approach. There are wonderful insights in this book that were extremely helpful for me! The decision making process I learned in this book will apply to ANY big decision I encounter in my future, which is great news for me. This gives me peace of mind. I actually purchased "Get Off the Fence!" for a friend who is going through some challenging career decisions right now. This is a fantastic book and I give it my highest recommendation. (this was an easy decision!)

Premise: Difficult Choices Define Your Life:
I appreciate that statement made very early in this book: "Difficult choices define your life." It is in the opening chapter of the book which contextualizes the 10 + 1 Steps. I also found value in a distinction the Makoff's make about a "decoy decision" which is not the "big" decision (or the Big Duck) instead it just LOOKS like the Big Duck. It is an energy sapper, it misses the core issue... and it can appear genuine. This distinction could have been fleshed out: perhaps there is room for another book in the series. I also found a lot of benefit in the simplicity of the process itself coupled with the real-life examples. What was missing for me, however, was examples from outside the personal realm. I was hoping for some choices which were in the area of big career changes, making professional choices, making choices about ending or finalizing a partnership or quitting a job, etc. Overall, great for Decision Making 101 which made me hungry for Decision Making 102.

Make that decision!:
Great book! Everyone needs the tools to move forward with important decisions in their lives, and here they are!

A Must Read!:
The decision making steps in Get Off the Fence! are straight forward and the authors have serious real-world credentials. I learned a lot about myself (and other people) from this book. I highly recommend it.
