Very Detailed!

The book goes into great detail to help you understand where you are going wrong with your thoughts. Biases and heuristics can rule your mind, and you never know it. The author did a great job highlighting those biases and heuristics in our lives and then supplying good strategies so that we can identify those biases and heuristics in our own life. If you can recognize them in your life, you will be able to make better decisions because you are then knowledgeable. Since you are knowledgeable about biases that would impair your decision-making, when a decision does come along, and your mind is naturally biased then you get to recognize your bias and make a more informed decision simply because you are aware of how that bias is influencing how you think and act. Love this book!
