This book—winner of the University of Oklahoma's Thatcher-Hoffman Prize for Creative Thinking—is a perennial bestseller for Silver Lake Publishing. Numerous corporations and organizations have bought the book in bulk quantity to help managers "think out of the box" Author Steven Levi focuses on lessons on decision-making over looked by traditional historians. He shows that history offers trends that connect ideas and actions—and gives readers tools for applying these connections in everyday business and life.

 

Use History Like a Tool is available in all major bookstores and on most ebook platforms, including amazon/Kindle. And you can read excerpts at GoogleBooks.

 

Here's an excerpt from the Author's Note:

…if you want to use history like a tool in your day-to-day survival, you must understand the underlying principles of history and how to alloy those principles in your life. This is not a scholarly book. It's not a work of philosophy—historical or otherwise. Rather, it is a practical work specifically designed to be readable and understandable so that even someone who hates history can use it like a tool.

 

And here's the Table of Contents:
