• This book explores five aspects of choice-making: Clearing the decks. Some choices are far more important than others. Some are not really ours to make. How do we sift the wheat from the chaff? Starting where you are. We can only make sound choices from the place we actually find ourselves, not form where we wish we were, or think we ought to be. How do we learn to be true to ourselves? Reading the signposts. Life provides us with teachers. Wisdom from outside ourselves, and wisdom from within. How do we read the signposts? Choosing for the best. How do we turn our compromises and collusions into choices that reflect the very best in us? Seeing it through. Making a decision is one thing. Implementing it is another. What if w e make mistakes? Can we change course if we get things wrong?
