A great summary of fallacies and biases. This book is like a crash course on the subject for those who haven't read Taleb, Kanhman or other authors on similar subjects. For those who did read them, this is a great way to revise the learnings. Will definitely recommend adding this book to your library.

This is the book who everyone should read. I have been reading reviews in play store, and seeing people don't like it but when your are in business or a middle class who had payments to make but salary is 1 lack. For them it's the best book. And I am a reader. And I have tried all the things said in the book. And nothg goes WRONG

The book is full of anecdotes, tries to justify a certain class of fallacies by quoting specific incidents. But does not make justice to actually explaining or referencing existing studies behind the various strategy to follow. Good for glancing, but don't expect to learn 'art of thinking clearly'.
