Book Reviews of Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk
Book Review: simple-minded drivel
Summary: 1 Stars
I have no doubt that Ben Carson is an excellent neurosurgeon, but what comes across in this book is little more than opportunism, self-promotion, and bone-headed conservative ideology gussied up in a feel-good self-help package. His vaunted best/worst method of assessing risk might sound good on paper, but you need only read through his own real-world applications to discover just how ridiculous and useless it is. In omitting the far more important factor of likelihood from his risk assessment analyses, he betrays a simple-minded black-and-white worldview more befitting a fundamentalist crackpot than a scientist worthy of attention and respect. Do not buy into this garbage.
Summary of Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk
You can find our culture's obsession with avoiding risk everywhere, from multiple insurance policies to crash-tested vehicles. But is ducking risk the most productive way for us to live? Surgeon and author Dr. Ben Carson, who faces risk on a daily basis, offers an inspiring message on how accepting risk can lead us to a higher purpose.Guides Books
