I bought this book because it is according to Bill Gates one of most important books and all US college graduates could get copy for free from his pages. He gives this book to business partners and politicians also …
Everyone probably knows quotes of former British PMs …“the only
statistics you can trust are the ones you have falsified yourself” and “three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and
statistics”. What about you and statistics? If you trust in statistics this book is for you, because shows through statistics data, how human thinking can be false. Books shares some similarities with Kahneman´ s "Thinking fast and slow", "Superforecasting" , "The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail – but Some Don´t or Dobelli´s "Art of Thinking Clearly". So nothing new under Sun, but definitely worth to spend money and time with this book. There are some new and interesting facts about world where we live, but too much theory and am I able to change my way of thinking based on this book? It´s very difficult especially in our age (at least for me). Every piece of information which can help me to keep my eyes and brain more open is welcome though.
Have you read book by Steven Pressfield named "Do the Work"? I love one sentence from this book. "You´re allowed to read three books on your subject. No more. " Then do the work.
