Placing this Workbook for Volume 1 – Part VI in the Context of the Three Volumes
This first page of the Epilogue places this workbook for Volume 1 – Part VI in the context of the series of Workbooks, Handbooks & Notebooks written in three volumes, and under the overall title of “Making Good Decisions”:
- Volume 1: A Book of Connections has Five Workbooks
- Volume 2: A Book of Collections has Five Handbooks
- Volume 3: A Book of Illustrations has a growing number of Notebooks
Volumes 1 & 2 document how to use “Tools, Checklists & Processes” to make good individual, business, and investment decisions, including the “Template for Reading Research Papers” that readers can use to create their own documentation of what works, or does not work.
The Workbooks in Volume 1 connect the dots in five Parts:
- Workbook for Volume 1 - Part I: Our Shared Humanity
- Workbook for Volume 1 - Part II: Making Good Individual Decisions
- Workbook for Volume 1 - Part III: Making Good Business Decisions
- Workbook for Volume 1 - Part IV: Making Good Investment Decisions
- Workbook for Volume 1 - Part V: “Template for Reading Research Papers”
The Handbooks in Volume 2 regroup important items from all Parts in Volume 1, and include:
- Handbook for Volume 2 –Master Glossary List
- Handbook for Volume 2 – All Author Profiles
- Handbook for Volume 2 – All Terms-of-Art Definitions
- Handbook for Volume 2 – All “Tools”, “Checklists”, and “Processes”
- Handbook for Volume 2 – Master List of References
Volume 3 provides a growing set of Reading Notebooks that use the “Template for Reading Research Papers” as well as the other “Tools, Checklists & Processes” defined in Volumes 1 & 2 to analyze specific papers, books, or topics suggested by readers.
The provision of this material as a daily, public peer-review writing, editing, and publishing process on Substack seeks to promptly place these “Tools, Checklists & Processes” in the hands of readers as a contribution to creating a decentralized foundation for “Constructive Skepticism” in the making of good individual, business, and investment decisions.
Note:
