Refuse to Choose!

Refuse to Choose!: A Revolutionary Program for Doing Everything That You Love.

Scanners unite! Barbara Sher has defined a category of people who have many interests as Scanners. She explains why Scanners may flit from one project to the next without ever completing anything, and provides a host of tools from the Scanner Daybook to Avocation Stations for keeping track of the 3 to 300 topics a Scanner might want to explore.

Then Sher explains different types of Scanners such as the Double Agent, the Sybil and the High-Speed Indecisive. Of course being so intelligent and multi-talented, it’s unlikely that any one Scanner will fit neatly into one of the Scanner categories.

Though Sher’s approach to Scanners implies that they are in the minority, I think that many people are Scanners. This is a wonderful book, providing new insights, a sense of purpose and of liberation.
