Obliquity

In this insightful audiobook, esteemed economist John Kay explores the concept of "obliquity," the idea that indirect approaches often lead to greater happiness and wealth than direct ones. Drawing from a wide array of examples in business, politics, science, and parenting, Kay argues that our complex goals and unpredictable interactions necessitate a gradual process of exploration and risk-taking. He illustrates how those who focus on passion and purpose, rather than merely material goals, achieve more meaningful success, offering practical guidance for navigating life’s challenges with an open mind.
