Akshith Rao's Reviews > Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts

Who knew that the world of poker and behavioral economics had something in common. It was refreshing to read a book that talked about dealing with our biases rather than pointing to the different ways we trip ourselves into irrationality. Although we might not be as lucky as Annie to find a group that accelerates our efforts to tame the irrational mind, Tools like the betting strategy, inviting feedback and 10:10:10 rule can be pretty useful. I felt that the poker and baseball examples were used a tad too many times. The ending was also abrupt and it felt as if the author just stood up and left abruptly just when the conversation starts to get interesting. This is a great book despite the above mentioned shortcomings and I would definitely recommend this to enthusiasts of Amos and Danny!
