Great book for individuals or businesses faced with making decisions (which is everyone). The author offers a lot of practical advice for being able to see our biases and avoid them sabotaging our decision making process. She also provides a framework for viewing past decisions and outcomes that is more realistic and grace giving. Highly recommend!

Loved it!

This book had several pointers that were helpful. The most important theme was: our decisions are many times separate from the outcomes. A good decision could still result in a bad outcome, which doesn't make the decision bad.
Before you make a decision, ask yourself how you will feel in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years if you made it.
In several places, the book felt stretched and repeated the same pointers without adding anything, but I blame how the literary industry is, because no one rewards you for writing an essay, you get royalties for writing books instead.
Also, it got repeated in the book so many times that by now, I feel really bad for the guy who questioned his decision-making after firing that VP.

Had mixed feelings overall about this book. Torn between 3 and 4 stars. Overall I like the idea, and I think it's a good one, but I didn't like how businessy / self helpy it came across as.

Interesting insights that sound intuitive but are commonly missed (at least by me :))
Relevant to a lot of us if not all of us in anything and everything we do
Liked the poker concepts and stories which kept it interesting and intriguing

I do not watch professional poker so I was unfamiliar with Annie Duke before this book. She narrated the audio book and I thought she was delightful. Duke has an unconventional background for a poker player - an academic and PhD candidate. I really liked the premise of the book and the excellent examples. My only issue is applicability to real life. For example, when Pete Carroll made the call that led to the Seahawks losing the Super bowl, Duke could prove that it was the best decision in the situation because statistically, the play would have been successful more times than the alternatives. But football is a game, with a set of rules, inside a narrow universe and she had years of data to rely on. How do you apply that analysis to something like deciding to take a new job, when you have no data or very few similar experiences with completely different variables? She does offer some general suggestions to help (like having people who are willing and eager to be contrarian to your perspective) but I don't think the book easily translates to real life.
