About this ebook

Searching for calm waters in a turbulent life? In an increasingly complex world, the need to understand where you stand and where you are going is fundamental on the personal, organizational, and societal level.


A. I. Shoukry—author of the bestselling book In or Out—introduces us to his innovative concept; anchor system thinking.


You are a vessel in the sea of life. Whether you like it or not, whether you float or sink, stand still or move forward, you are always anchored or searching for an anchor. And it’s better to know your anchor points than to be anchored without knowing. If you think you are floating freely, think again. Do you know your anchor points?


Anchor system thinking can be applied as a situational analysis tool on the personal, organizational, social, and even national levels. Anchor system thinking can, therefore, be used for problem-solving and strategic planning for personal, business, political, societal, geopolitical, or relational dilemmas.


In this short, insightful book, you will:

-       Discover how to think using the anchor system thinking concept.

-       Master anchor system thinking and its application on the personal, organizational, and societal levels.

-       Understand various anchor points and how are we all anchored to location, time, social networks, and entities.

-       Learn how to draw anchor maps for yourself, your organization, and society to understand your current status.

-       Solve problems on the personal, organizational, and social level using anchor system thinking.

-       Know how to be a reliable anchor point for others and excel at it.

-       Practice the proactive anchoring technique for strategic future planning for yourself, your organization, and society.


Anchor System Thinking is an innovative paradigm that will change how you approach your life, work, and relationships forever.


So, buy Anchor System Thinking and start anchoring today!

Odd, Incoherent Mishmash of Ideas The title and subtitle of this book make you think that it's going to be a hard-hitting book about the topics in the subtitle. Unfortunately, that is not the case. As happens in much nonfiction today, the author inserts himself into the book in a variety of places, somewhat weakening the message. But that isn't the only problem. The message itself seems convoluted. The author seems to go off on tangents despite setting out a clear roadmap for himself with the chapter ideas and structure. These tangents only peripherally relate to this philosophy of thinking—or may not do so at all. By the way, despite the highfalutin’ title of the book and the words of the subtitle, this book is actually just a personal philosophy that the author developed; using phrases like “situational analysis” and “strategic planning” makes you think this will be deeper than it is. The anchor metaphor was stretched so thin at times (and perhaps even beaten to death) that I actually couldn't see the relationship between what he was talking about and the idea of anchoring at times. Personally, I do not see how this book lives up to the promise of its subtitle or the description. As such, I cannot recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
