About this listen
We struggle making decisions, and most times, we just wish someone would make them for us. What if that could all change, and you could master the decisions you face in your life?
The average person makes hundreds of decisions each day. They range from the ordinary and mundane to life-altering events. Many decisions we are faced with have little affect on our lives. They deal with the simple problems and require simple choices. However, there are those decisions which impact our lives and the lives of those around us in very significant and consequential ways.
In Making Accountable Decisions, Sam Silverstein presents ways to approach our life's decisions and how we interact and affect others. He does this by focusing on the most substantial decisions in our lives, how they impact us, and what decisions we can make to add value and meaning.
Sam is the founder of The Accountability Movement and works with companies, government agencies, and people around the world, helping them build accountable cultures and live accountable lives. Building an accountable world is his life's mission. Some people choose to let life happen. Some people make it happen. What is your decision?

We each have a destiny. Finding the courage to drive past the challenges, the pains, and even the shortcuts of life to the deeper purpose of living is to thrive in one's divine destiny. Most people have sensed destiny pulling them to just the right place or person. Whether it is the spouse you meet, the children you bear, or the promotion you receive, everyone has a purpose to pursue. Sometimes it is understanding our destiny that helps us accept what on the surface appears to be failure.

We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy.

Being Accountable
I’m really surprised this motivational/leadership speaker had so many small minded ideas. Several times, he was “surprised” at what inmates, homeless/persons with decorative bodies (tattoos namely) had to say or how they spoke with depth. A few times, he admitted s/he was not someone he would have spoken to.
Maybe if I wasn’t dumbfounded by his admissions of ignorance, I would have found more value in this book. As it is, I’ve grown up open minded and since college (when I left my small hometown ) I’ve embraced and befriended people, without regard to their superficial identifications.
I also felt the chapters didn’t flow. Some of the ‘basics’ or foundation was in the middle or latter part of the book.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
There was nothing new or original in this book, and mainly consists of common sense ideas and things that just seem really normal such as telling yourself not to strive for perfection. It mainly tells you to readjust how you think.
