The Art of Strategy: A Game Theorist's Guide to Success in Business and Life

I loved game theory when I first came across it. This was long enough ago that game theory was quite new, and there were no general overviews and summaries, and you had to go to the original articles. Luckily for today's readers, there are books like this, which serve as excellent introductions to the subjects.What sets this book apart is how it takes the theory and applies it to situations that you might find in real life - I found myself working out a lot of my strategy in relation to current and future employers based on the chapter on brinkmanship and trades unions. The other good thing about this book is that it is light on maths, so it should not put off the lay reader. At the same time, it gives a structure and a foundation that helps you go on and read more advanced texts. Highly recommended.

This is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. It is really fun to read and packed with numerous case studies.

It is good

It’s practical and instructive. Guide one about bad habits and how to motivate one to change it. It’s a tool to behavioural change

There is good stuff in this book, but it is frustratingly presented. The authors are verbose, and many of their examples deal with baseball and US politics. These I found obscure (along with those based on poker, something else I know nothing about). I found myself repeatedly flipping through pages before again picking up the thread.This is a book written by Americans for Americans. I could not recommend it to anyone else.

It is one of the most pleasant books that I have ever read.The examples that the book uses and the situations that describes and the games in which we can participate made me understand better what strategy means and how it operates.

An excellent read for anyone interested in learning about game theory. Different ideas are applied to situations which are engaging to the reader- no previous knowledge needed

Really good book
