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.

This book is really smart! Short, but it's like a "Bible". You always come back to it.

Saw this book in a newsagent before a 2 hour flight. It costed ~$22. It took about an hour to read it. It was enjoyable, and I’ll probably take some ideas from it but don’t expect to be an expert on any models in the book by the end. You’d need to read further on each of the models if you wanted to actually use them. It might be a good read if you are facing a tough decision as it can remind you of the different ways of dealing with the decision, but I’m writing this a couple of weeks later and I’ve completely forgotten the content of the book.
Would I buy the book again, knowing what I know now? Ahh, probably not? It was kind of like reading a comic book: entertaining but won’t change your knowledge level or attitude towards anything.

Also, what's the deal with the stylized pictures on the back of the book: a tie and a bikini? How is that relevant or appropriate?
