 Book Quality (not content) is Good January 7, 2009
Book Quality (not content) is Good.
The content also is great so far.(I have read only half of the book) However all the examples used in the book are from a USA perspective. Given I am a visitor to US some examples were unknown to me.
It's Useful Information Changes Your Perception November 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What you can learn from this book can change your perception of the world around you. After reading this I really felt like I'd tapped into a resource of information (the field of game theory) that I should have been exposed to years ago.
I won't use this as a business person or as a politician, but I feel it's important to see the tools these folks are using (believe me, they're using them!). As the title says already - "everyday life."
When you realize that other people are using strategies even if they haven't read a book like this, then you can realize that life is more like a game than you realized, and that to make things work best for you and those in your life, you've got to use strategy!
So, I would recommend this book as an essential tool for anyone who is old enough to understand it. Even though it's virtually free of complicated mathematics, some topics will be over the heads of some readers. But that's ok. The general idea of asking questions and realizing we all use strategies will naturally improve one's abilities.
Comes with Homework September 19, 2008
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. These exercises can only benefit the reader, as all situations we face in life are negotiations of a sort.
 Great introduction to game theory applied to business strategy July 5, 2008
I read Thinking Strategically many years ago, when I was trying to develop an understanding of Strategy applied into a daily business environment. The strength of this book is that it is providing a gentle introduction to a field that is quite complex. If will probably frustrate the readers that are either already familiar with Game Theory or highly mathematically minded. But, for the rest of us, it is both easy to grasp, highly practical and readily applicable. If you belong to the later group, a must read...
