Book Description

CSQ is a guide to improving the big picture, strategic value of the actions we take in World Events, Society, Business, Family and in personal life decisions too. The 100 Year Plans, the process, and technology to fix our biggest problems and forge a brilliant future; from curing cancer, to solving a $14 trillion Divorce problem, to world peace, to a Process to Solve Anything, and more. Intelligence is measured as IQ, Emotional Intelligence is EQ, and here we introduce Common Sense Quotient - CSQ, as a measure of the positive results of our actions. For society, visionary thinkers and contemporary authors have set targets for our Common Sense future too. From Da Vinci's flying machine designs, to Jules Verne's 1865 roadmap to travel "From the Earth to the Moon," to Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek," to Hanna-Barbera's vision of George Jetsons' robot maids, anti-gravity cars, video watches, and two day work weeks. The first goal of CSQ Common Sense 101 is to teach the fundamental steps and processes needed to make good decisions, goals and objectives - as did these great parents and Visioneers. The next goal of this course is to teach you how to build anything reliably - no matter how complex; and no matter how grand the scope. After all, what good are common sense decisions and goals if none of it can be built? When John F. Kennedy asked NASA to launch a flight to the moon, engineers responded that it was impossible. When he asked them to further specify the exact reasons, they responded with a list of thirteen problems for which they had no solution at the time. In 1962, Mr. Kennedy asked NASA to run thirteen projects as needed to solve each of those problems and then to carry out the flight to the moon which succeeded in 1969. When you make a decision to build something positive and visionary, you must understand how good leadership, good process and good engineers need to work together in order to meet objectives. Fortunately, in the next 20 years, families, society and business will see an economic rebirth sponsored by a next generation of High-CSQ leaders armed with good goal setting processes and advances in technology that provide the tools needed to build a terrific, perhaps even Utopian, future - if we chose it. CSQ 101 "Feeds the Right Wolf," as TomorrowLand put it, by explaining exactly how to build the future that your kids will want for their kids. Like reducing a gigantic vat of soup down to a tasty sauce that improves everything it touches, or like concluding a complex proof on Special Relativity with a simple and elegant equation - E=mc2, seemingly unrelated common sense approaches from every facet of life reduce into recognizable and repeatable rules and processes that can be applied easily to improve our lives and societies. CSQ 101 is a page-turner because its examples are smart, realistic, funny, insightful, and taken from well supported and interesting lessons in history. Prepare to be engaged and challenged - and in the end, with a little luck, you will find that you will be easily able to leverage practices here to make good Common Sense conclusions in life - whenever you like.
