It tells in a fluid, engaging narrative format what has taken many of us volumes to compile and articulate. The most difficult thing about this book is the internal contradiction of wanting to keep reading, knowing whatever comes next may be more engaging than what came before, versus stopping for a while to process and not forget what you just read. Johnson recounts decision paradigms with technical but engaging detail in the way most of us talk about a vacation itinerary: with great excitement and the sort of detail that has audiences wanting to plan their own. He breaks these down incisively and broadly through reader-friendly descriptions of decision science matched with real-world anecdotes most will find generally familiar.
