"McKeown's primary objective in this book is to help his reader to understand when, how, and why to adapt "faster and smarter than the [given] situation changes." …McKeown provides an abundance of information, insights, and counsel. …[he] is well-aware of the importance of survival to countless individuals as well as to countless organizations and even countries throughout the world. However, his hope -- one that I share -- is that those who read this book will aspire to accomplishing more, much more than survival." --Robert Morris

"I loved the examples…Without a doubt, yes, I would recommend this book." --Business Zen Blog

"McKeown offers case studies from companies you know, such as Starbucks, providing insight into familiar story lines. Some of his other examples aren't as famous but are just as compelling: He looks at civil war in Liberia, computer game development and Italian bureaucracy to flesh out his 17 rules …for adapting and, thus, succeeding. …[A]n eager reader can tease out techniques and ideas for becoming more adaptable, and McKeown offers warm, inspirational tales that provide general road maps for successful adaptation. getAbstract believes leaders of companies small or large looking to motivate their employees or themselves will find value here." --getAbstract

"I am a big fan of Max's writing style. He consistently makes the complicated simple, the difficult understandable, the philosophical real-world relevant, and the seemingly ordinary brilliant. He has an easy to read approach, but it took me a while to get through the book because I found myself spending time highlighting, underlining, making notes in the margins, and staring off into space contemplating the ideas presented. Good, good stuff. Adaptation is never easy. It requires letting go of the known, changing our perception, and jumping into uncertainty. Max shows us some ways to make the leap in the right direction." --Broc Edwards, Fool with A Plan

"History is not filled with stories of cultures or companies that managed to hold the status quo. History is filled with stories about those who dominated and those that disappeared.

Max Mckeown's newest book is the road map they need." --Tac Anderson, Vice President, Head of Digital Strategies, EMEA at Waggener Edstrom
