Summary of Michele Wucker's You Are What You Risk

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1901, Annie Edson Taylor, a 63-year-old teacher from Auburn, New York, decided to go over Niagara Falls in a pickle barrel. She reduced risks by making every preparation you could imagine.

#2 Taylor’s attempt at climbing over the Falls was a failure. She had planned everything out, but her manager betrayed her, so she ended up with nothing. She lived another 20 years in poverty.

#3 The life and legacy of Annie Edson Taylor are all about risk. She had the ability to choose how risky she wanted her life to be, and she did so freely. She had little to lose, and so she was able to take bigger risks.

#4 The risks we take tell the world who we are. They explain everything from the mundane choices we make throughout the day to the widely impactful actions of CEOs, mayors, presidents, and world leaders.
