Rating:  - Comes with Homework
This book is more successful than most in not only presenting the mathematic theory behind the choices we make in our lives; but also presents the reader with living examples and homework with which to practice the theory you have just learned.

Rating:  - Shallow analysis of many real life situations
I apologize to all those who liked this book, but I felt the authors were playing with a tool that was new to them thinking they had found a "Holy Grail". They sorely missed the critical elements of numerous examples. You cannot break down the Cuban Missile Crisis in to elements of chance nor Ted Williams batting style. Being successful in negotiation or business is based on truly understanding your customer, your vendors and your competition. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a clash of cultures that ... Read More
