<p><b>RETHINK YOUR WAY TO A BETTER BUSINESS AND A BETTER LIFE</b> <p><i>"Most of us, whether we are business people or political leaders, doctors or teachers, students or parents, live in the present and try to work toward the future one day at a time, taking tiny cautious steps, improving things incrementally. It's been a survival technique the human race has used throughout our evolution, but it may not be enough to save us from the dangers that lie ahead in the near future and it may also mean that we, both as individuals and as a society, are going to miss the enormous opportunities that technological progress is making possible."</i> <p> <b>—From Chapter One</b> <p><i>Total Rethink</i> gives leaders in any profession an important guide for changing their patterns in order to meet the challenges of today's (and tomorrow's) world. The book is filled with illustrative examples from author, entrepreneur, and businessperson David McCourt's incredible life and career. This book offers a blueprint for understanding what it takes to become a forward-thinking leader.
