We can learn how to  achieve our objectives only through a gradual process of risk taking  and discovery-what Kay calls obliquity. The author traces this  seemingly counterintuitive path to success as it manifests itself in  nearly every aspect of life, including business, politics, sports, and  more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Kay\u003c\/b\u003e is a visiting professor at the London School of  Economics and a fellow of St. John's College, Oxford University. As the  director, he established the Institute for Fiscal Studies as one of  Britain's most respected think tanks.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305069007077,"sku":"NP9780143120551","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780143120551.jpg?v=1767733982","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/obliquity-isbn-9780143120551","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
