Description

Game-Changer: Game Theory and the Art of Transforming Strategic Situations"The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." So wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be turned into victory whether in battle, business, or life by those with the strategic vision to recognize how to "change the game" to their own advantage. The aim of David McAdams's Game Changer

"The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." So wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be turned into victory--whether in battle, business, or life--by those with the strategic vision to recognize how to "change the game" to their own advantage.

The aim of David McAdams's Game-Changer is nothing less than to empower you with this wisdom--not just to win in every strategic situation (or "game") you face but to change those games and the ecosystems in which they reside to transform your life and our lives together for the better.

Game-Changer develops six basic ways to change games--commitment, regulation, cartelization, retaliation, trust, and relationships--enlivened by countless colorful characters and unforgettable examples from the worlds of business, medicine, finance, military history, crime, sports, and more.

The book then digs into several real-world strategic challenges, such as how to keep prices low on the Internet, how to restore the public's lost trust in for-charity telemarketers, and even how to save mankind from looming and seemingly unstoppable drug-resistant disease. In each case, McAdams uses the game-theory approach developed in the book to identify the strategic crux of the problem and then leverages that "game-awareness" to brainstorm ways to change the game to solve or at least mitigate the underlying problem.

So get ready for a fascinating journey. You'll emerge a deeper strategic thinker, poised to change and win all the games you play. In doing so, you can also make the world a better place. "Just one Game-Changer is] enough to seed and transform an entire organization into a more productive, happier, and altogether better place," McAdams writes. Just imagine what we can do together.

Incredibly comfortable and priced right
Size: 8.5 X-Wide, Color: White/Bright Crimson/Pure Platinum/Black
I'm new to running and was eager to get a shoe that would handle sustained distance running while being thoroughly comfortable on my feed. I have wide feet as well, and the wide version of this shoe is a perfect fit. After running with these for a few weeks, I tried on a lesser pair of run shoes for comparison and the support of the Revolution 8 became every more apparent. For the price, this is a great entry running shoe and one I'll use all year.

Good sneakers
Size: 8, Color: Lt Smoke Grey/Black/Smoke Grey/White
Bought size 8 for my son. He likes them and finds it more comfy than his Nike air max sneakers. Only issues are that the laces are a bit too short, so tying them can be annoying, and that the grey color gets dirty easily.

Worth it, gents
Size: 10, Color: Black/Anthracite
These are very comfortable and lightweight. They’ve held up admirably through day-in, day-out wear and tear for about three months. The size is precise, the price is reasonable, and the style is on point. I’d buy them again in a heartbeat.

The daily shoe.
Size: 13, Color: Black/Anthracite
Great daily running shoe! It took approximately 3 weeks to fully break in, but now they feel incredibly comfortable. My feet stay nice and cool throughout the day. I went on a light waterfall hike and the water resistance held up fine. The shoes look great; in direct sunlight they look a little dark blue, but they are still perfect for work.
