Searching for calm waters in a turbulent life? In an increasingly complex world, the need to understand where you stand and where you are going is fundamental on the personal, organizational, and societal level.

A. I. Shoukry - author of the best-selling book In or Out - introduces us to his innovative concept; anchor system thinking.

You are a vessel in the sea of life. Whether you like it or not, whether you float or sink, stand still or move forward, you are always anchored or searching for an anchor. And it's better to know your anchor points than to be anchored without knowing. If you think you are floating freely, think again. Do you know your anchor points?

Anchor system thinking can be applied as a situational analysis tool on the personal, organizational, social, and even national levels. Anchor system thinking can, therefore, be used for problem-solving and strategic planning for personal, business, political, societal, geopolitical, or relational dilemmas.

In this short, insightful audiobook, you will

• Discover how to think using the anchor system thinking concept.
• Master anchor system thinking and its application on the personal, organizational, and societal levels.
• Understand various anchor points and how are we all anchored to location, time, social networks, and entities.
• Learn how to draw anchor maps for yourself, your organization, and society to understand your current status.
• Solve problems on the personal, organizational, and social level using anchor system thinking.
• Know how to be a reliable anchor point for others and excel at it.
• Practice the proactive anchoring technique for strategic future planning for yourself, your organization, and society.

Anchor System Thinking is an innovative paradigm that will change how you approach your life, work, and relationships forever.

"In this book, Shoukry at least partly follows the behaviorist tradition of Ivan Pavlov, and therefrom derives a meta-thinking device he calls "Anchor System Thinking", which both builds upon and expands the behaviorist conception of the mind as a "black box". As such a meta-thinking device ought to be judged by its usefulness, I was naturally skeptical at first as to how Anchor System Thinking could improve one's thinking in "Situational Analysis, Problem Solving, and Strategic Planning for Yourself, Your Organization, and Society", as his subtitle proclaims. When I got further into the book, however, I started recognizing the value of the metaphor of the “anchor system” and the different components thereof. As Jocko Willinck has especially emphasized, it can be difficult for us to make an objective assessment of ourselves and our own situations, but I think Shoukry’s “Anchor System Thinking” could help one do that if one understands and applies it adequately.

The book is rather short, at just under a hundred pages, but with Shoukry’s curiosity and eloquence reflected throughout the work, in addition to his insightful examples and even interactive tasks for the readers to get more emerged with the meta-thinking device, it turns out to be both an easy, educational, and entertaining read. Additionally, Shoukry provides a good overview in the introduction to inform the reader about what he will explain in the individual chapters, highlights certain sentences he wants to emphasize, and last, but not least, he is doing a great job at categorizing the concepts he’s presenting, as well as the interaction between the categories, to illustrate how the metaphor can be applied to one’s own self-improvement.

Among these categorizations, one of those who stood most out to me was that among “entity anchors”, which was categorized into “objective”, “subjective” and “inter-subjective” entities. When I read this, I recalled that Yuval Harari had made a similar distinction in his best-seller book “Sapiens”, indicating that one inspiration of Shoukry may have been Harari, though it’s possible that the idea was discovered separately. Nonetheless, Sapiens certainly works as a good complementary read to “Anchor System Thinking”, if one wants to delve further into the implications of that categorization.

All in all, I enjoyed the book, and thought Shoukry had an interesting thesis of a meta-thinking device that could be useful to improve one’s thinking in analyzing oneself and others, and to further grasp how we’re all connected to things of which can have a smaller or bigger impact on us, like places, people and entities. If you’re interested in such meta-thinking devices, and/or want to improve your thinking to become a more perceptive analyst, I would recommend to check out “Anchor System Thinking” as a quick and easy read with a lot of good content."

• I was quite disappointed with the book but I blame it on myself for not reading the description... Instead I read the title and thought that I might kill some time reading about problem solving, strategic planning and whatnot... turned out to be some guy's "philosophy" not at all connected to any kind of analysis, planning or problem solving or anything useful - I literally see only (very) young girls or bored housewives taking this seriously...
• Anchor System Thinking is a relatively short book and a quick read, yet it introduces a certain thought process that can prove to be an excellent tool especially in situational analysis.
  
  Through simple language and organized outline , which are trademark in Shoukry's writing, he once again presents us with a practical tool for implementation of an abstract concept.
  
  In certain places, the book gave a bit too many examples that left me with a feeling of being unfocused from following too many trains of thought.
  
  But once I finished and grasped the whole idea of the author, the possible applications of this tool, especially on the introspective level, was a thought provoking lesson.
  
  Quite often in life we are held back by invisible anchors that hold us down. I think that this book teaches an excellent method on how to discover these anchors in order to set ourselves free from them ... And for this, I highly recommend reading this book and wish to thank the author for this valuable addition.
• This booklet takes about an hour to read. The author constructs a metaphor similar to a mind map of a situation using the words anchor, chain, medium, and others. In my opinion the metaphor is so useless that the book is a waste of time. If you just list your memories, relationships, and goals on a piece of paper when you want to prepare for a change in an aspect of your life you will get better results than using the authors pathetic metaphor.
• Anchor System thinking is a simple concepts that will help you to understand where you stand, solve problems, and plan for yourself, your organization, and society.
  
  The scientific background to the author influenced his writing style.
  
  The book is short, organized , simple and to the point.

• This is a book about the philosophy of life. I felt it was written specificly for me. it was really a great read this weekend, simple, motivating and enjoyable. Go discover your anchor point as I've just did.
