A Spy's Guide To Taking Risks Review: Move - Analyze Risk - Adjust - Risk analysis is with us in everything that we do on a daily basis yet it is something that many people rarely consider objectively. Hence many take risks where with a little thought, mindfulness, and observation they would see there is little chance of a good outcome yet at the same time ignore opportunities where the risk is minimal and the outcome would be very beneficial. This small book is a fascinating and succinct insight into the risk and potential rewards of success or failure, where under pressure and on the fly. By using the simple model outlined here, you can decide more accurately whether a potential outcome has a chance to be good or disastrous or whether that outcome has a low or high chance of success. And when the brain is busy exploring and worrying over all the potential things that can go wrong, whether the possibility of all the necessary components that would cause that disaster are probable or even conceivable. Simply put this is a book about deciding on a course of action from a number of options and on whether the risk associated with that action is likely or not to provide the desired outcome and how to analyze those two things in a high-pressure situation. Told in the first person and from experience gained over the years of operating in some of the most dangerous places on the planet, these are the thought processes that kept him alive. This is a great little book for entrepreneurs, corporate executives or just about anyone who looks back and thinks they could have made better decisions. I’ve also read the previous two guides that John has produced, The Spies Guide to Thinking and The Spies Guide to Strategy and this is a perfect addition. Review: Superb book! - Interesting, informative, well written, and truly fun to read! Although John Braddock's Spy series is an introduction to some of the mental aspects of becoming a espionage agent. I find that information Braddock is presenting can be both useful and practical in daily life. And example would be getting home repair or improvement estimates from unknown/unused construction vendor's. The book's would be a worthwhile addition to any home library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #552,453 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #437 in Political Intelligence #11,609 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Book 3 of 3 | Spy's Guide | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (305) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.3 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1687569622 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1687569622 | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 118 pages | | Publication date | August 21, 2019 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![- A Spy's Guide To Taking Risks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IM-OMyjDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Move - Analyze Risk - Adjust *by K***N on July 24, 2019* Risk analysis is with us in everything that we do on a daily basis yet it is something that many people rarely consider objectively.

Although John Braddock's Spy series is an introduction to some of the mental aspects of becoming a espionage agent. I find that information Braddock is presenting can be both useful and practical in daily life.

The book's would be a worthwhile addition to any home library. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by S***G on January 2, 2024* I enjoyed this book, along with the rest of the series. I appreciate the author's style, because it seems like the way a spy would write. I would have liked if some of the strategies were broken down into a more generic set of guidelines, to make them easier to incorporate into my own boring, non-spy life, but it was good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/221532984-a-spys-guide-to-taking-risks](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/221532984-a-spys-guide-to-taking-risks) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
