Don't Say Sorry

An extraordinary new decision-making formula that allows anyone to enjoy a meaningful life by solving your most difficult personal and professional problems. Don’t Say Sorry reveals that a new Decision-Making Formula is as important to the resolution of your most difficult dilemmas as major scientific formulas are to understanding nature. Seasoned law professor Tim Bakken suggests that our success and happiness are threatened constantly by the seven fundamentals of failure—from human error to isolation, fear, falsity, inaction, and more. By sharing stories of remarkable life-or-death emergencies, Bakken illustrates the application of his formula by those under stress, revealing the characteristics and conditions that are needed to prosper. In applying his formula for decision making—if abilities + attributes + practices > fundamentals of failure = correct decision-making—you’ll learn how to confidently navigate your fears to discover level-headed solutions. In this formula, you’ll find a way to optimize your most important attributes—humility, empathy, fairness, and trust—to select correct decisions and then act to resolve the most painful or complex issues. From Don’t Say Sorry, we learn to make correct decisions and live according to our conscience so that—at the end of anything—we will have no regrets.
