Recenzje

'Even though people make hundreds of choices each day, they rarely consider how to improve their decision-making skills. A good place to start is to read Ralph Keeney's new book, which is chock-full of wisdom, stories, and highly practical advice. By the time you finish it, you will have the author whispering in your ear the next time you face a big decision.' Richard H. Thaler, University of Chicago, co-author of Nudge, and winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
