Critic Reviews

Dobelli pinpoints exactly the assumptions, bias and illusions that shape our thinking and decision-making processes in both business and personal relationships that can cost us dearly as individuals and as a society
A serious examination of the faulty reasoning that leads to repeated mistakes by individuals, businesses, and nations . . . In this fascinating book, Dobelli does not offer a recipe for happiness but a well-considered treatise on avoiding 'self-induced unhappiness'
Do you have to read this book? Definitely. It's extremely entertaining and offers a fundamentally sound introduction to the nature of human thought (Professor Dr (h.c.) Roland Berger, Founder and Honorary Chairman of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants)
Three pages in, and you've already learned something else (Franz Himpsel, Süddeutsche Zeitung)
Rolf Dobelli is endowed with both imagination and realism, a combination hard to find since the 16th-century Renaissance (Nicholas Nassim Taleb, author of BLACK SWAN)

This has been an unofficial textbook (for me) in my analytical thinking class at uni. If there is a book you should read/listen to more than once, this is the book. Get it in your library and then get it in your head.
