How we handle risk is a key to so much else in our lives. Whether we do so in a way that is reckless or far-sighted, timid or courageous, selfish or altruistic, will play a central role in our own successes and failures as well as strongly affecting the lives of others. In particular, which risks we choose to take and which to avoid, can be of crucial importance. Bill Treasurer tackles the practice of risk-taking head on in a book bristling with enthralling anecdotes, intriguing information, and, most importantly, practical advice. Don t pick up this book unless you have a couple of hours to spare because once you start to read, you will be unable to put it down. And when you have finished, you will have gained important insights that will be of real use in your daily life. Right Risk is right on.

I don t know anyone who lives a risk-free life so I can t think of anyone who would not find immediate value in this superb book on the truths and myths of positive risk-taking. Bill Treasurer uses his high-diving youth and life as an executive coach and transforms it into a hundred-foot-high plat- form of wisdom for us all.
