Books like It's not about the shark by Niven, David


In *It’s Not About the Shark*, David Niven presents a fresh perspective on decision making and problem solving. He argues that zeroing in on a problem drains creativity and keeps us stuck, whereas shifting attention to possible solutions frees us from fear, reduces effort, and creates confidence. Supported by real‑life examples and psychological research, Niven offers practical strategies—such as looking away from a problem, listening to others, and embracing a solution‑first mindset—to help readers transform everyday challenges into opportunities for growth.
