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'.

For a book that is positioned as scientific, it can be extremely anecdotal. I also found a lot of content was reused from other popular books in the behavioral economics vein. The author's personal opinion is passed in many parts and can make for difficult reading if you were looking for a factual read. Would advise to read with a pinch of salt.

A book full of anecdotes and cliches. More suited to sit on a coffee table. Avoid if you are looking for genuine insight based on scientific method, proof and analysis
