This book is a good reminder for me to be more rational in the decision making progress, and not much more helpful other than that. But I really like the biases part, despite of there are too many blank pages.

I was disappointed with lack of framework , theory , useful guides that it didn't matches the subject title and purpose it seeks to address .
