Reality Check

"Reality Check is a book I wish I had 15 years ago. It's packed with examples and insights on how to get your questions right in order to improve and change. " - Ola Helland, Writer of the comedy/science TV show Brille.

Amidst the constant whirlwind of change, clarity feels elusive as we desperately grasp for answers when it's the transformative power of questions that we truly need. Author Carlo Mahfouz, a fervent believer in the art of inquiry, invites us on a voyage to uncover the profound clarity within these catalytic moments-epiphanies he terms "Reality Checks."

Synthesizing decades of change leadership experience with research-backed frameworks, Carlo Mahfouz reverse-engineered these moments and laid bare the hidden preparations, allowing anyone to formulate the right strategic questions at the right time - bringing a philosophical perspective down to earth through Carlo's own immigrant journey, his unlikely opera training, and more to humanize each rich concept.

Mahfouz taps unconventional wisdom from interviews with global innovators from across the world, such as:

• CEO of the world's first mind-controlled bionic arm;
• VP of strategy at a Fortune 500 science and technology innovator;
• Senior Executive at one of the world's leading EdTech companies in Healthcare.

... and many more with experience ranging from working at NASA to Nonduality coaching and selfless leadership.

You'll examine overlooked elements like context, time, and self-awareness through a potent new lens designed to upgrade your sense-making skills in chaotic times.

Combining extensive, rigorous research with vulnerable stories, Reality Check meets you in the uncomfortable ambiguity of not knowing - modeling raw introspection as Carlo guides you through paradigm-flipping perspectives and tools to apply immediately.

You'll learn to:

• observe subtle signals in shifting realities,
• catch your own biases, masking complex problem-solving,
• and lean into moments of clarity.

Mahfouz aims to help you experience your own "Reality Check" through the spirit of the lessons to unlock the art of precision and insight in your leadership, innovation, and life.
