[Imran Ahmed · Rating 4 out of 5]

Make Up Your Mind is a dry, theoretical work. It is not for the casual reader.

The text requires one to review, reread, think and understand. In short, the book is like an introductory college text which can't be properly utilized if not read with effort and care.

Nonetheless, it gets four stars because it's accessible to the average (discerning) reader. It's straightforward and gives examples the reader can work through to better grasp the concepts.

The book's benefits are available to all decision makers - from buying a family car or deciding on the next vacation to allocating dollars to a particular line of business. But only if you have the inclination to read a college style text.

There are much more things that I didn't like about this book:
- it's paternalistic tone. I don't think a book about decision making is the right place for lamentations on how bad kids are
- 10 basses for judgement model, although intention behind it is good, the distinction are so arbitrary. For example, how different doctrine-based judgement and faith-based judgements are, and how exactly emotion-based judgement is a separate category when emotion to a certain degree is part of any decision
- examples are too schematic, thought author squeezed quite a lot of decision-making techniques in this small book, I believe more detailed description of examples would have been more useful

As per good things, introductory chapters are informative and well-written, especially the parts about framing.

I found the system to be very confusing and difficult to learn. There were some good quotes that I'll hang in my office, but I won't be recommending this to family or friends.
