THE DECISION GAME turns the most powerful ideas in strategic science into a practical toolkit anyone can use—no math, no jargon, no economics degree required.

How did we get here? All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants.
