Publisher Description
Any choice you make—any decision—will benefit from 10-10-10.
We all want to lead a life of our own making. But in today’s accelerated world, we can easily find ourselves steered by impulse, stress, or expedience. Are our decisions the right ones? Or are we being governed, against our best intentions, by the demands of the moment?
A transformative new approach to decision making, 10-10-10 is a tool for reclaiming your life at home, in love, and at work. The process is clear, straightforward, and transparent. In fact, when you’re facing a dilemma, all it takes to begin are three questions: what are the consequences of my decision in ten minutes? In ten months? And in ten years?
Recounting poignant stories from her own life and the lives of many other dedicated 10-10-10 users, Suzy Welch reveals how exploring the impact of our decisions in multiple time frames invariably surfaces our unconscious agendas, fears, needs, and desires—and ultimately helps us identify and live according to our deepest goals and values. 10-10-10’s applicability is uniquely broad and has shown its effectiveness in decisions large and small, routine and radical, consistently changing lives for the better. In this immensely useful and revelatory program, Suzy Welch fully explains the power of 10-10-10, a transformative idea that can replace chaos with consistency, guilt with joy, and confusion with clarity.

"It is impressive that the author made a book out of a simple concept that can be summed up as applying your values in short term, mid term and long term impact of a decision being considered. There are lots of examples. At times it seems like the solution to all hard decisions. It is not. Nevertheless, the concept is solid and the book is worth reading."
— Terry (4 out of 5 stars)

" I'll revisit this one in 10 months/10 years and see if I still find it compelling. "
— Tracie, 2/8/2014 -
" It is an interesting premise, but I feel that it isn't anything new. I think I have been doing this unconsciously for years about decisions. I think I scimmed and read the book in one night. "
— Susan, 1/31/2014 -
" This helps put things in perspective. "
— Maria, 1/29/2014 -

" Interesting concept about thinking through your decisions. "
— Gil, 1/11/2014 -
" Nothing really new; only recommended if you like the genre. Otherwise, a waste of time. I liked it well enough to read the whole thing though, which is better than some of my 2-star books. Okay, maybe I skipped a couple of chapters, but it's kind of a fun read with some good anecdotes. "
— Julie, 1/11/2014 -
" A system for making personal decisions "
— Joanne, 12/30/2013 -
" It could have all been said on one page. But the stories were fun "
— Jean, 10/1/2013 -
" How to make decisions using 10 hours, 10 months and 10 years as the framework. Decisions are often made in the context of the moment with a GUT check. Her idea takes some of the emotions out of the decisions. "
— Gracesheely, 9/17/2013 -
" interesting concept. May not be easily applicable to all situations. "
— Vinayak, 9/2/2013 -
" I really like the methodology behind 10-10-10, but I thought the book was a little long. Some of the personal stories could have been cut to make the book a more concise read and none of the value would've been lost. "
— Christa, 5/27/2013 -
" This is a pretty cool decision making tool. Used in conjunction with Pro-Con lists, it seems much better than "follow your gut". "
— Louise, 2/20/2013 -
" This slim little volume by Suzy Welch was engaging and provides an excellent look at her 10-10-10 decision making process (which I remember reading about in O Magazine) and how it applies to all areas of life, including work, relationships and parenting. "
— Alissa, 12/2/2012 -
" It was definitely informative, yet it gets repetitive as she goes through peoples' stories. "
— Ghazal, 9/10/2012 -

— Dave, 11/13/2011 -
" This book is a waste of time. There is absolutely nothing new or eye popping. "
— Angie, 10/20/2011 -
" Love Suzy Welch. This book's deceptively simple premise - how will our decisions effect us in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years - was extremely thought provoking. "
— Maureen, 8/17/2011 -

— Joyce, 4/19/2011 -
" Interesting concept about thinking through your decisions. "
— Gil, 3/25/2011 -
" An amazingly simple productivity tool, so simple it doesn't seem to warrant a book. Surely we all do this already. If not, it's certainly a habit worth picking up. (Book didn't wow me, but I'll give it four stars for the idea.) "
— Kelley, 2/1/2011 -
" It is an interesting premise, but I feel that it isn't anything new. I think I have been doing this unconsciously for years about decisions. I think I scimmed and read the book in one night. "
