maybe its me and not the book

I wanted something I can listen to only and not flip from the provided material and audio book.

Wanted to like it, just couldn't.

I love numbers. Always have. Am a strong, determined advocate for the precision of numbers over words, especially in decision-making. This book was 2 stars until the rambling, unfocused, practical section. It reads like your proud 4 year old nephew who has "learned" something new and has little idea of what to do with it except to perform it for others (sorry). Far too much imprecision. Started focused on probability and that presentation was minimally passible but then broadened the scope far beyond his demonstrated expertise. Mispronouncing Daniel Kahneman's last name, a trailblazer in econometrics (also mispronounced), is unforgivable. Needs a section on scales and scale development and much more support for modeling in predictive analytics. Not only is this book a waste of time, it might also confuse what you came in knowing. One very irritating thing? For a book on probability, way too much use of the word "always". I wish Covington had stayed within himself, not tried to be everything to everyone, been more focused, and plumbed much more deeply. If you are looking for something in this area that is well worth the time, check out The Book of Why by Judea Pearl. Sorry. I really did try to like this work. It just ended up being a major disappointment.
