About Leanpub Community Editions

A Leanpub Community Edition is part or all of a Leanpub book which the authors are providing to you for free, in exchange for you sharing your email address with them. Leanpub is a self-publishing platform, and our Community Edition feature allows authors to make everything from one chapter to the entire book available for free. We don't earn any money from it, and we provide the feature so that authors can offer subsets of their books in exchange for email addresses of possible readers whom they can contact.

A better decision begins with knowing what you can verify, what you are assuming, and what you still need to find out.

What's included in the Community Edition

This free eight-page guide includes:

  • A simple introduction to the difference between facts, assumptions, and unknowns.
  • A six-step process for reviewing a decision.
  • A practical worksheet with questions to help organise your thinking.
  • Three reflection questions to help you examine past decisions.
  • A note on the limits of the method and the importance of careful judgement.

The guide is designed for independent use. You do not need to purchase the full book to use it.

If you want to explore the subject further, The Decision That Changed Nothing: How to Separate Assumptions from Evidence and Make Better Decisions develops the same central idea through a fictional story and a more detailed decision-review method.
