Book Description

June 9, 2005
A challenge to today’s pop culture, One Second to Think is an information-age guide to critical thinking. Drawing upon the clarity of 20/20 “mindsight,” this provocative twenty-first-century message provides the keys to an instantaneous mental makeover.

Author Leon Quan exposes the tactics used by advertisers to define, manipulate, and mentally restrain the emerging leaders of America. Quan’s entertaining mix of humor and candor will show you how to reverse this trend by focusing on your unique talents. Across the nation, his audiences have gained performance-enhancing ideas and perspectives including:

  • Learning the ten critical seconds of leadership
  • Avoiding the eight lethal one-second habits
  • Finding the threshold of relevance
  • Capturing the power of presence
  • Developing, disciplining, and directing your passions
  • Discovering the artistry of impulse management

One Second to Think will energize those who want to enrich their leadership style, define their true ambitions, and execute their dreams with clarity and authenticity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me think, October 1, 2009

This review is from: One Second to Think: 20/20 Mindsight for Your Critical Moments of Brilliance (Paperback)
I am a recent high school graduate who is searching for my passion and trying to figure out the answer to the age old question as to what I want to be when I grow up. I was moved by Mr. Quan when he spoke to my high school and I remember feeling empowered after the assembly, I purchased this book to see if it could provide me with any direction and give me reassurance that I am capable of achieving great things, regardless of my circumstances. It seems silly to look for those types of answers in a book, however, this book did remind me that if I take time to process what is thrown my way that I can make good decisions that will lead to a successful and fulfilling life. Thank you Mr. Leon Quan for caring enough to write this book, it is truly inspirational.

This review is from: One Second to Think: 20/20 Mindsight for Your Critical Moments of Brilliance (Paperback)
I heard the author speak to our students at a high school assembly, and he was very engaging! After I heard him say he had written a book, I ordered 2, one to read and one to give away to one of our students for graduation. The ideas Leon shares are vital to teens and young adults growing up and being so heavily influenced by pop culture. They must learn to think for themselves...and each decision is more critical than they may imagine. This is a great book for young leaders; it has many timely ideas to live and share with others. I highly recommend this book.
