At an event yesterday, maybe four different men asked me: Why didn’t you write a book about solutions? (Women almost never ask this.) It’s a businessman’s need, this thirst for “actionable” solutions. And I’ve come to believe this need masks another, deeper one: for absolution.

But would you ever trust a doctor who skipped past diagnosis and opened up the pill cabinet and started tossing bottles at you? Prescription follows diagnosis. Solution follows analysis. Action follows reflection. Doing follows seeing. And it has ever been so.

I see this often among white/wealthy ppl. Abolish prisons? But what perfect solution do you have to replace them? Expand rent control? But that won’t perfectly solve the housing crisis. Struggling people need messy change right now, not to wait for a mythic silver bullet.

A valid point .... yet there would be no harm in referencing several authors (if not their book titles) as a place to start. "Here's what I have to say ... these individuals can take you to the next step".

true.
Also
true all of these books occupy shelves and with covers closed.
Until doing systemic good becomes totally cost-free or at least turned into a highly entertaining enterprise seems we're still hardwired for quick fixes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
