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?

Great book. Easy and short read. Nothing at all what I expected it to be. Ended up taking notes.
