This book is superb. I am currently recommending it to anyone who works for a living, who plays games, who eats dinner or sleeps. It is one of the most interesting but also influential books (at least on me) that I've read in at least a year and has caused me to reconsider a number of strategies I have historically adopted for making decisions but also about how I manage teams and groups I am a part of.
Most interestingly for me is that Klein has, in this book, gently overturned a lot of what I've been taught (and ignored) down the years about effective strategising and decision making. It's helped me understand the point of a lot of my own unarticulated rules for making choices both when at leisure, under pressure and how I differ in that from many other people I know.
The book is peppered with anecdotes that clearly explain the points being made and most importantly they're interesting and there's not a lot of wasted space. I am generally very nervous about 'management books' and to be honest I bought this because Amazon recommended it and it had the word power in the title. To my surprise it was about something I'd normally avoid as pseudoscience and was both articulate and well researched.
I can't recommend this enough.
