The Importance of Things That Never Change

Morgan Howzel's book, Same as Ever, explores the significance of things that remain constant. By understanding these unchanging elements, individuals can make better decisions and predictions about the future. For example, focusing on improving customer desires that will always be present, like low prices and fast shipping, can lead to long-term success. Howzel also discusses the idea that the most significant risks are the ones that are unforeseen and highlights the importance of being prepared rather than trying to predict every possible risk.
