Refuse to Choose

This book explores personality differences between people who are continually interested in new things and find frustration in trying to concentrate on one interest exclusively (referred to as Scanners), and those who are able to easily complete a task from start to finish with laser-like focus.I have been frustrated by my seeming lack of ability to focus for many years; I’ve just started reading, but already I’m beginning to understand that I’m not alone; I’m a Scanner and I’m in good company. Aristotle was a Scanner, as was Ben Franklin, and I think both of those guys did reasonably well for themselves.It is like a breath of fresh air to hear that I am not lazy or undisciplined because I can’t pick one thing and stick to it; it is simply that I have a creative mind. And, in a spiritual context, I’m realizing that I need to stop second-guessing the Creator and use the creative mind that He has given me for His glory.
