Summary Of The Book

Ever wondered why people smoke even when they know it is unhealthy? Or what is it that one believes about things they cannot prove? The Decision Book: Fifty Models For Strategic Thinking has answers to all these questions and more.

Through a selection of models from around the world, this book provides explanations to some of the most intriguing everyday phenomenon. It has covered topics ranging from the Swiss Cheese Model on the causes of mistakes to the Pareto Principle on input-output correlation, from Johari Window that reveals what others know about people to the Maslow Pyramids that define the thin line between needing and wanting.

Taken from a diverse mix of subjects, including economics, psychology, and sociology, these models improve one’s judgment and help people take better decisions in life. Many of them are taught to students of business management as they help structure the chaos of everyday life and make the decision-making process more accurate. A unique diagrammatic approach is introduced in the book for readers to apply the learnings in their own environment and become better decision makers.
