They'll Never Know: Summary of some of the best and worst known insurance stories across the decades.
Psychologically, people’s relationship with insurance is a complex, emotional journey. In reality, the simplistic, uncomplicated manner of insurance is a beautiful thing. It is designed like a lottery that always pays when a specific future risk element is incurred. And yet, time and again, there are an abundance of illustrations showing abuse and gratitude working in kind, usually fueled by an entitlement attitude that they’re somehow going to scheme to take more. These are their stories.

Great compilation of the good, the bad and the ugly of insurance. Was intrigued by the history sprinkled throughout the book. Along with the quick wit and charm. The stories are all well placed and enjoyed each one. Some making me laugh and some making me scratch my head. Some leaving that "I can't believe they thought they could get away with that". Great way to end your evenings devouring a few chapters.
