Speaking of mumbling, you may not have caught my short list of reading suggestions. They were:

• The Art of Action, by Stephen Bungay
• Turn the Ship Around, by L. David Marquet
• The Mary Russell novels, by Laurie R. King (in fact, anything by Ms. King). Start with the first, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice
• The Laundry Files novels, by Charles Stross. Again, start with the first, The Atrocity Archive. The reference to OODA loops is in The Apocalypse Codex, p. 160.  Here’s my blog entry: https://slightlyeastofnew.com/2016/12/11/the-magic-of-the-ooda-loop/
