Summary

Why do we look away from problems we could easily solve? Why do we ignore what’s right in front of us?
 
In Willful Blindness, entrepreneur and thinker Margaret Heffernan explores the hidden forces that keep us from seeing the truth. From personal relationships to boardrooms and governments, we often choose comfort over confrontation—until the consequences become impossible to ignore.
 
Inside this book you’ll discover:
 
-Why our brains are wired to filter reality in ways that suit us.
 
-How corporate cultures reward overwork and denial at great cost.
 
-The dangers of pursuing wealth while ignoring human values.
 
-How biases and blind spots damage relationships and institutions.
 
-Practical ways to see more clearly and make better decisions.
 
Drawing on psychology, sociology, and real-world examples, Willful Blindness reveals how our refusal to face facts endangers our personal lives, workplaces, and society as a whole. More importantly, it shows how awareness, diversity, and courage can help us break free from self-imposed ignorance and unlock true power.

    The best and the brightest use advisors and experts. In fact, one could say that they are the best and the brightest because they utilized trusted advisors throughout their careers. 
 
 
 
Whether in business, sports, entertainment, academia, or politics—expert help is a fundamental enabler of success. That means that the demand for expert advice will grow and the competition will increase for such help.

Trusted advisors are beyond coaches—they are comprehensive resources and supporters. 
 
 
 
The Modern Trusted Advisor employs important mastery traits, such as subordinating ego, applying shared experiences, and managing emotional, mental, and intellectual health. We are entering a world of "no normal" today and leaders must inspire others daily.

    People are quitting their jobs in droves, then coming back. Employees are demanding flexibility, while some leaders insist they return to the physical office. Remote work is incredibly convenient but complicated. The job market is always in flux, but one thing is for sure: the last few years have presented the greatest challenges the business world has ever faced. Don't freak out. If you accept the new reality and harness the incredible power of healthy, authentic relationships, you can seize the competitive edge in this new world of work. 
 
 
 
In The Retention Revolution, Keswin makes the case for completely rethinking the nature of work, workers, and workplaces. Rather than view a workforce as a talent pool filled with loyal company employees, you should look at it as a constantly flowing river of dynamic, robust human beings, where people come and go—and often come back. Keswin walks you through this reframing process and replaces seven old ideas that don't serve anyone anymore with powerful new concepts that drive organizational success. 
 
 
 
This game-changing playbook is filled with accessible and actionable case studies and research that will prove how transforming old ideas into new beginnings is good for people, great for business, and just might change the world.
