Developing 20/20 Foresight: Learning how to have it go your way.

Everyone has 20/20 Hindsight. We can look back to see what we could have or should have done better. However, what would really make a difference is 20/20 Foresight. So what is that? Well, have you ever found yourself excited and enthusiastic about something new and then watched yourself give up on it over time without knowing why? Or perhaps you see things that you know it would make a difference for you and others if you were proficient in those areas but you just can't follow through. Or maybe you wonder why you have a passion for quilting or knitting or financial planning or model airplanes or football or any number of things. Where did that come from and how did you become an "expert" on that subject? This book begins to answer those questions and offer us a way to use some innate human skills and abilities that we have not previously recognized to bring an interest is specific things to life and develop new proficiencies - intentionally. With the tools developed from the research with a number of different people with varying areas of expertise and proficiency we are able to deliberately and effectively build new areas in our life where we are living "in the zone" and operating at optimum level.
