As Michael Khouri's allegory continues, the three squirrels from Upheaval realize the negative consequences of not making choices-and they begin to understand the advantages of taking control of their lives. The business and personal messages in this second book of the In a Nutshell Series are: Collaboration is created, not simply given. Create what you want to be and how you want to live. Development starts with confrontation. Development does not happen overnight. Don't wait for chaos to arrive before you formulate a plan. Last-minute preparation only reduces the level of vulnerability. Success comes from learning from your failures.
