Wall Street Journal bestseller | An indispensable guide to decision-making and risk-taking for anyone who finds themselves afraid of making a wrong choice in their career. This fresh, new approach comes from one of the most highly regarded and well-respected female tech executives in Silicon Valley, who made many wrong choices in her career, but learned how to turn those down moments into successes.
Life is made up of a series of choices. What do you do if one of those choices turns out poorly, especially if it was carefully considered? How do you trust your instinctive decision-making skills and make the next right choice? How do you continue to take risks when, suddenly, your risks are not working out?

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most highly regarded and well-respected female tech executives in Silicon Valley, but she'll be the first to admit that her path to success has been far from linear. She started three companies that have done exceedingly well, including theBoardlist (an organization designed to promote and place women onto corporate boards), and she just served as president of StubHub, which sold earlier this year for $4 billion.

But she's also encountered plenty of poor choices, misfires, unexpected headwinds, and all other types of pitfalls that she had to learn how to confront, analyze, navigate, and incorporate into her new path forward. From her own experience, she knows that personal success does not come from making one singular "correct" or "big" decision. Rather, long-range success comes from tackling numerous choices that are aimed to optimize future possibilities.

Singh Cassidy's "seven myths of success," as well as her advice on how to make FOMO into your friend, multiply your "bets" in life, and understand why you shouldn't be blinded by "passion bias," all provide an entirely new way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success.

      The “myth of the single choice,” that one decision can make or break everything, is to blame for people’s fear of taking risks, writes StubHub president Cassidy in her encouraging debut. The pressure to “make the right choice on a straight shot to glory,” she suggests, leaves people stuck in jobs that don’t suit them or on harmful paths, and the way out is to change one’s mindset and become more comfortable with risk. Cassidy’s program for doing so involves taking small risks “early and often,” acknowledging that growth isn’t linear, and embracing setbacks as part of the process. She urges readers to stay open to possibilities and wait for multiple options to appear (rather than jumping at the first available opportunity), stay in “discovery mode,” commit to always learning, and harness FOMO, because it spurs one to action. Cassidy has taken a number of big leaps in her own career, which she covers at too great length sometimes, to the point where the advice can get lost in the autobiography. Still, readers looking to play it a bit less safe will find this a welcome call to do so.
