THE CHOICE

I have The Choice, “Revised Edition” 2010 (ISBN) 0-88427-193-5

In this book the two Goldratt, Father and daughter, talk about “how the interrelation of emotions, intuition and logic influences our ability to think clearly”. The same ability that Eli encouraged us to use when solving problems in professional decisions, it is recommended if we “wish to reach a full life”.

The Choice

This revised edition contains Efrat’s notes. These are brief notes that describe the mental processes Eli’s daughter had in the way she realized she (and all of us) have “Freedom of Choice”. She uses logical maps. They are not exactly “Trees” like CTR or FRT in TOC Thinking Process. You can follow her progress whilst she reaches four main lessons her father taught:

1.- Every situation Is simple (Inherent simplicity)

2.- Every conflict can be removed

3.- There is always a win-win solution (People are good)

4.- Every situation can be substantially improved.

The logical map in page 222, summarizes her findings.
