Any choice you make -- any decision -- will benefit from 10-10-10. We all want to lead a life of our own making. But in today's accelerated world, we can easily find ourselves steered by impulse, stress, or expedience. Are our decisions the right ones? Or are we being governed, against our best intentions, by the demands of the moment? A transformative new approach to decision making, 10-10-10 is a tool for reclaiming your life at home, in love, and at work. The process is clear, straightforward, and transparent. In fact, when you're facing a dilemma, all it takes to begin are three questions: What are the consequences of my decision in 10 minutes? In 10 months? And in 10 years? Recounting poignant stories from her own life and the lives of many other dedicated 10-10-10 users, Suzy Welch reveals how exploring the impact of our decisions in multiple time frames invariably surfaces our unconscious agendas, fears, needs, and desires -- and ultimately helps us identify and live according to our deepest goals and values. 10-10-10's applicability is uniquely broad and has shown its effectiveness in decisions large and small, routine and radical, consistently changing lives for the better. In this immensely useful and revelatory program, Suzy Welch fully explains the power of 10-10-10, a transformative idea that can replace chaos with consistency, guilt with joy, and confusion with clarity.

 Easy to read
Enjoyed this book. Sent it to my son and his wife to read after I did. Good basic ideas.
I bought it new from a used bookstore and it had yellow underlinging. Not sure this was meant to be there originally.
 Simplistic, repetitious and dull
Everything Ms. Welch has to convey about her 10/10/10 concept could easily be expressed in a single page, double-spaced essay. There's nothing 'transforming', enlightening or profound here. Filling an entire volume forces her to repeat herself ad nauseam (seriously, we got it the first time, Suzy) and boring the reader with endless tales of her children's lives. Yawn.
 Perfect Condition
I received my book in perfect condition. What a bargain!
The very discounted price was worth the wait. :)
Great way to make decisions
I had heard her being interviewed on the radio a couple of years ago and thought the 10-10-10 idea was really interesting. A helpful book.
Takes real life stories and explains how they applied the 10-10-10 approach
10-10-10: A Life Transforming Idea is an amazing book, chock full of great ideas, anecdotes and humor and it is written by best-selling author Suzy Welch, a mother of four and a columnist for Business Week and O, The Oprah Magazine. Suzy developed this 10-10-10 principle from her own experience as a mom and businesswoman. The 10-10-10 principle is a wonderful tool to help you think through choices and determine how a decision would impact your life immediately (10 Minutes), in the short term (10 Months), and over a longer stretch of time (10 Years). This approach is similar to looking at things with a pro and con viewpoint but it takes it much further. It allows you to look at things over time and think through how a decision may effect you. It is not always wise to go with that first gut reaction that we often do, myself included, it really is important to think things through before reacting. When we go by the gut only, it's often emotional based and we also need to engage our brains and think about our values and beliefs to make some of those more serious decisions. We can use our gut instinct but also challenge ourselves to think beyond the here and now. I believe that this approach can blend with a person's religious beliefs and faith.
Suzy shares her own story and others and how they have used the 10-10-10 method to make choices and decisions that are big and small and how using this method has transformed their lives. The 10-10-10 approach has helped everyday people make decisions about buying a house, career choices, changing jobs, having more children, staying in a marriage, ending a friendship, etc. I enjoyed reading the real life stories and how they applied this approach. Suzy shares through different chapters how to apply the 10-10-10 method to motherhood, working and stay-at-home moms, marriage, friendship, jobs and career changes. I really enjoyed the practical nature of this book and it was easy to read and understand. I believe that this approach and style promotes ease in trying to apply this method as it is not an overwhelming process.
