The Art of High Stakes Decision Making: Tough Calls in a Speed Driven World

Rating:
Summary: Simple does not equal simplistic
Review: Excellent and important book on decision making. A great read!

Rating:
Summary: Limited real life applicability of SCRIPT methodology
Review: I am in total agreement with the opinion of the reader from Chicago, who rated this book 1 star based on its tendency of overcomplicating straightforward issues in everyday decision making. In addition to this observation, I found that the SCRIPT methodology, the main idea of this book, is only appliacabe to a limited number of decisions and not to ALL as the authors suggest.

Summary: Simple does not equal simplistic
Review: I was extremely disappointed with this book. It uses fancy, sophisticated-sounding but still meaningless lingo to describe commonsense everyday issues. Why complicate something what can be described in simple terms? The author fails to understand that simple does not equal simplistic.
