This was an interesting read, but less earth shattering than the blurb led me to expect. At one point the author himself comments that "everyone else knows that our approach to problem solving is more oblique." If you are a game theorist or economist who believes everyone makes rational choices, this may be the book that changes your mind. If you're part of the "everyone else" you'll find some philosophical/psychological backup for ideas you know to be true ("The more we practice the better our judgments.") but not necessarily a lot beyond that.
