Common Sense and Common Nonsense is a book written by Alfred P. Sloan Jr. that explores the concept of decision-making in business and life. Sloan Jr. was the former CEO of General Motors and his insights are based on his extensive experience in the corporate world. The book is divided into two parts - the first part focuses on common sense, which is defined as the ability to make decisions based on experience and observation. The second part focuses on common nonsense, which is defined as the tendency to make decisions based on emotions, biases, and faulty assumptions. Sloan Jr. argues that common sense is essential for success in business and life, but it is often undermined by common nonsense. He provides practical advice on how to overcome common nonsense and make better decisions. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all backgrounds. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their decision-making skills and achieve success in their personal and professional lives.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Basis for Stability, by Alfred P.
