Straightforward and helpful. I can't say that this book gave me any jaw-dropping new insights, but there were definitely useful tidbits, and the structure was great!

Quite interesting if you need a prompt to change your approach. More of a self help book than I expected from the title.

From childhood, we are inundated with messages to "Play it Safe from the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood to sayings like " Better Safe than Sorry" or 'Curiosity killed the Cat". While they may be said by well-intentioned people, they tend to either subconsciously contribute to our negative perception as adults, which they call the "Play-it Safe" paradox. In under 200 pages, Morgan and Lynch strive to help risk-averse readers understand their low-risk appetites in decision making and how to tolerate fear. Backed with the additional resources, "Bet on You" provides a step by step framework for readers to understand themselves and take "calculated" steps during high stakes while remaining self-confident. I enjoyed reading the authors' personal experiences in the US Marine Corps and other anecdotes. Overall, I will be using this book as a reference guide and look forward to reading more of their work.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick and easy read, with a lot of good tips, stories, and examples to articulate the points from the authors. I took quite a few notes and highlights around the book and it's likely I will re-read this again as new risks and opportunities come my way!

I really enjoyed learning from two authors with such a unique background and experience. There are a lot of those important little takeaways and gems in this book so you always get the sense you could build on what they are teaching. The authors do a good job of laying out ideas without forcing application ideas. They give the reader space to do whatever with the material. I almost would have enjoyed It more if they integrated their experiences and stories into the body of the chapters without separating them out as its own piece. It does not take away from the content in terms of meaning, but it could have made for a better feel as the reader. Overall, Im thankful for the lessons I learned in this book, and would read their future work .
