A handy book which condenses many models into an easy to review format. The diagrams provided are most helpful. Some of the models contained relate to things that I have come across in management training or read in other works recently. So you may find that to fully appreciate some of the content here you may need to do further reading.
I noticed that the models were very much applicable to home and office, things which I might need to address in both my home and work life.
Overall, I found "The Decision Book" a useful resource.

A quick easy read. Useful as a rough list of "models" for decision making (although not all are models or for decision making). Useful as a thought provoker but models are dealt with unevenly and pretty superficially. Would have been good if, at the end of each model, there was further reading suggestions on the specific model.

It's tough to mark this book as "finished" since it's clearly meant for reference. I can say that after reading it straight through there are lots of gems.

Just like many other books, compiling many small context-dependent ideas in a single package doesn't make it a grand eye-opening work. Don't get me wrong, these models are interesting and potentially useful, but the author didn't bother properly expanding them with appropriate information, context and examples, so prepare for some extra homework.
It doesn't help that the (Amazon) ebook is formatted minimally and has low-res images

It has great strategies indeed, though I had some issues understanding some of it, maybe due to using very strong words or maybe it was a bit complex for me to understand.

Interesting book, particularly for managers or people in leadership positions. Even if you're not in any sort of leadership position, this book has insightful exercises to learn more about yourself and the people around you. V enjoyable.
