Key themes are to be on the look out for for when and how you might substitute an easy question in place of answering a hard question (without knowing it), how decisions are framed can dramatically alter the answer evening with professionals and experts, and that we're very bad at applying fully rational logic to decisions of probability. I highly recommend the book, it made me aware of many potential flaws we make around decisions - but my only compliant is that it offered few tools to improve how we make decisions.
Quick read - enjoyable and well structured, but sadly confirmed that knowing the right things to eat, is much easier then eating the right things.
I read this on recommendation from Marc Leroy's popular online photography class. While I did black and white photography in school, and developed photos in the dark room - this book has the best explanation I've read on how cameras photographic process works, and how the various settings like shutter speed, ISO and aperture work together.
Interesting story with good pacing, moving between telling of a fable to living in it's own adventure. A book that continues to hold a sense of wonder post reading.
