A dry master work
submitted by shermdock on August 17, 2016, 2:38pm
This book conveys two lifetimes of work. And I'm very glad I listened to it on CD or I never would have finished it.
While it's a lot of disks, I had to listen to them all twice in order to retain any of the content. And what is the content? It's about how we make decisions. It's about our brains and our biases. Like that but drawn out over 20 spoken hours.
If you have any interest in behaviorism, read this.
I learned so much! submitted by benmurphysmith on July 31, 2018, 12:09am This book, and the topics discussed within, should be mandatory reading for all high school students. Essential knowledge for better decision making under uncertainty.
Interesting book if you stick with it! submitted by mickplu on June 11, 2021, 12:39pm There are many interesting concepts as demonstrated by various experiments over the years. Unfortunately, the author's writing style can be a bit dry.
