Critics Review

Dobelli pinpoints exactly the assumptions, bias and illusions that shape our thinking and decision-making processes in both business and personal relationships that can cost us dearly as individuals and as a society
Financial Times
A serious examination of the faulty reasoning that leads to repeated mistakes by individuals, businesses, and nations . . . In this fascinating book, Dobelli does not offer a recipe for happiness but a well-considered treatise on avoiding 'self-induced unhappiness'
Booklist, starred review
Do you have to read this book? Definitely. It's extremely entertaining and offers a fundamentally sound introduction to the nature of human thought
Professor Dr (h.c.) Roland Berger, Founder and Honorary Chairman of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
Three pages in, and you've already learned something else
