It's Useful Information Changes Your Perception
| Customer Rating:  | 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
| Customer Rating: | | 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
| Customer Rating: | | 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... |
Great
| Customer Rating: | | I wold buy again products from this seller because everything was as described and the price was good |
A book on how think strategically
| Customer Rating: | | I was very impressed with this book. Rather than giving you strategies ala the Art of War, it gives you examples and then explains the abstract principles and methods for solving the case. I found this very useful because it allows you to understand the principles and methods so you can apply them to any situation you may have. I would describe this book as picking up where the Art of War, The 33 Strategies of War, and The Prince leave off. It provides a meta model for thinking strategically. |
