📱 eBook en inglés DRIVING TO MISERY

On a sweltering summer afternoon in Texas, a family decides to take a long, uncomfortable drive to a diner in Abilene. The trip is miserable, the food is terrible, and upon returning, they discover a shocking truth: not a single person actually wanted to go. They all just agreed because they thought everyone else wanted to.
This is the Abilene Paradox, a profound breakdown of group communication where a collective decides on a course of action that directly contradicts the preferences of every individual in the group. Unlike groupthink, which is driven by harmony, the Abilene Paradox is driven by the fear of speaking up, leading entire companies, families, and governments to execute disastrous plans that nobody actually supports.
This book deconstructs the silent mechanics of false consensus. It explains how boardrooms fund doomed projects and how couples endure miserable vacations simply because no one wants to rock the boat.
Learn to break the silence. Master the art of productive confrontation and ensure you never again agree to a journey you despise just to appease an illusion.
