Latest Bloggingheads up with Robert Greene, bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power and most recently The 50th Law ("Fear nothing").
Excellent commentary/summary by Andy McKenzie here.
The most important piece of advice I got from The 50th Law was "always attack before you are ready".
I actually only got to see the first half of this, so I missed "always attack before you are ready." I like it, but how was it justified/explained?
I can't remember the exchange verbatim, but the way I interpreted it was as a way to cope with the analysis paralysis phenomenon that can occur when one is confronted with a lot of information.
According to Greene's quoted maxim, it is always advisable to act before all the data has been gathered (presumably because one can never gather all the data).
