After leading with an apocryphal, casually racist anecdote about Captain Cook in Australia, the book spends the rest of its time slowly meandering through bad neuroscience and statistically lacking ideas.

This is another little pocket-sized instant reference guide from Kogan Page that seems to hit its mark. It provides a mass of powerful information to help the reader get a handle on key decision making and problem solving techniques, whether it is refreshing one’s memory or even starting from scratch!
Checklists, case studies and exercises are used to help get one thinking and considering matters. It can also inspire to further, deeper analysis and reading into the subject. However, the main aim is to get the reader solving problems and taking informed decisions, no matter the means or the nature of the art behind it. What’s more, you can’t complain about the price of the book!
It is an interesting approach to a potentially complex subject. It is written in an easy-to-understand, open manner. Some of the simpler things can appear to be the most profound, such as the author highlighting the difference between “options” and “alternatives”, noting how one word can be misunderstood and incorrectly applied in many business settings. Think about it…
A short but sweet review for a concise, powerful little book! Highly recommended and even the experienced pro should not feel shameful by reading this “how-to” guide. Even an old dog can learn a few new tricks!
