Thinking Strategically is a bestselling book that teaches its readers to face and tide over almost any adversary in professional life. This book builds itself on case studies from the fields of business, sports, politics, gambling, and even movies. What it basically does is outline the techniques of strategy making, and teach the readers the ways to apply the same. The book begins with an introduction to the subject of strategic behavior. It then deals with the subject in three different sections. The first section involves the reading and understanding of the rival's strategy.

The case studies included give the readers a fair idea as to how they may expect the results to turn out in real life.
