Seven Deadly Stupidities

“It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet Crisis manager George Pillari takes the listener through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others.
