Drawing on examples from business, sports and psychology, as well as her own experiences touring the world as a chess and poker player, Shahade transforms our understanding of what success looks like, and how to achieve it for ourselves.This book is not about playing chess better, or even playing chess at all - it's about how thinking sideways can propel you to success and happiness.
