I was sorely disappointed with this small volume. The introduction announces that it will offer decisional tools to (a) improve oneself, (b) understand oneself, (c) understand others, and (d) influence others. These are all fine goals, and the authors do a fair job of introducing them. Therein lies the problem I have with this book. Each decisional model gets about a third of a page for a visualization of the model, and the authors devote no more than the remaining two-thirds of a page and the following page to introduce the model. That's it!
The Eisenhower Matrix, one of the first introduced in the book is a helpful model, as is a SWOT analysis. However, the constraints the authors imposed on themselves prevented even an elementary discussion about the use of SWOT tables. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs model is presented, and certainly this deserves more than a page for an introduction! Many of the models were new to me, and more helpful explanations about the more complex ones are needed to make a book such as this one truly useful.
To be fair, the book did include a bibliography, but the books cited did not necessarily lead back to all of the models that had been discussed. Some more supplementary material could be gleaned from the Sources section in which the authors give credit for the illustrations used in the book. However, why is so much detective work necessary? In lieu of the abbreviated introductions, I think the authors should have provided more robust bibliographies or "further readings" section on each of the models. Or, better yet, maybe they could have abandoned the unnecessarily restrictive constraints they imposed on themselves and wrote better explanations for the models presented.
I purchased this book because I have impaired executive functioning, and difficulties in decision-making is one of the characteristics of this syndrome. I had hoped to find a bounty of models that would help structure my decision-making processes. Although the book did have a useful tidbit or two, it was largely a disappointment and did not come anywhere near to my hopes for the book. I would recommend this book only for those looking for a mechanism for finding useful models which, once named, can be studied further in other resources.
A small and quick read. Has a bunch of models to help with decision making for different scenarios. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone because not everyone will use the material. Anyone interested in economics, charts, or wants help expanding their decision toolbox should get a copy.
Comes as a small hardback of fine quality, and good paper stock.
Anyone who has ever read any management books could have compiled this. In fact it wouldn't surprise me to learn that this is just a compilation from wikipedia. Ok, in fairness, there is some occasional thought provocation but overall, I was disappointed.
Never have I read a more practical book. For anyone interested in self-help, anyone interested in getting control of their life, or anyone interested in collecting mental tools to approach situations. This book covers so much ground in only 171 pages. Every single page teaches you something new and that is literally true. No exaggerations here. Highly highly highly recommend to anyone.
A five star book means that I love this book.
This book
- Is for Decision makers, not jokers
- Shows a line, you have to build the bridge (Believe me, the needed contents are well delivered in this book)
- Can be best utilised if one by one the models are put to practice and the effects or results are observed
- Is an amazing material for Life coaches and Counselors
Readability 4/5
