Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
📚 Why We Recommend ItIdealism burns bright, but power? It’s a siren song. Careless People pulls back the curtain on a troubling truth: even those who set out to do good can stumble, blindfolded by their own confidence, until “carelessness” becomes a habit.
This book follows real-life figures—once idealistic, eager to fix systems—who slowly surrender to shortcuts. They wax poetic about “big ideas” in boardrooms, yet ignore the messy human details of implementation. They streamline processes in the name of “progress,” only to let loopholes widen into chasms. What starts as a small oversight—a skipped check, a dismissed concern—grows into something larger: policies that miss their mark, projects that harm more than help, all justified by the glow of their “noble goals.”
It’s not a takedown of idealism, but a stark reminder: the road to failure is often paved with good intentions—and the belief that “we know best.” As you turn the pages, you’ll recognize the hubris in their choices, the quiet cost of their carelessness. By the end, one question lingers: When ambition outpaces humility, who pays the price? This book doesn’t just tell their story—it holds up a mirror.
