Have you ever been to a beach and written your name in the sand? Then, have you relaxed back, in the sun, and watched as the waves gently lapped the impression away and returned the sand to its smooth, original state?
That is what reading the non-fiction title “Results,” by Jamie Smart, is like.
It could be that this book will become part of a canon of classics in a generation’s time. One of those works that has helped to future-proof the way we interact with the world.
Jamie uses the phrase VUCA to describe that world. It means “Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous,” which aptly describes the environment in which many of us survive. “Results” is a wonderfully soothing piece of work in the face of this outlook. And, best of all, you don’t have to do anything special to enjoy that release.
“Results” is a difficult book to describe without hinting at the message. So, in that sense, I will not try. What I can say is that the book is written in a wonderfully straight-forward and friendly style. If you have ever encountered any audio or video of Jamie Smart, you will find that it is impossible to read the words without hearing the soft hug of his voice. It is, simply, a wonderful piece of work.
To summarise, would I recommend this book? Yes. Without hesitation. I would not put the reader off its predecessor either, the classic “Clarity,” on which this work builds. In my experience, both books have a knack of finding you, at the moment when you are ready, so, if you are reading this, there is really only one decision to make. Please buy this book and thank yourself later for making such a great investment!
