Synopsis
"It is rare to come across a book that can truly be called fascinating, but here is one. "New Scientist Why Flip a Coin? What's the best way to choose the right spouse'. . . How can I increase my chances of winning the office football pool'. . . By what process should I choose a candidate in the Senate race'. . ., "It is rare to come across a book that can truly be called fascinating, but here is one."-New Scientist Why Flip a Coin? What's the best way to choose the right spouse? . . . How can I increase my chances of winning the office football pool? . . . By what process should I choose a candidate in the Senate race? . . . Could I possibly make more money playing poker instead of the stock market? Using examples gleaned from everyday life, noted physicist H. W. Lewis explains what science has discovered about the rules that govern good-and not-so-good-decision making. Full of provocative insights into human psychology and behavior, Why Flip a Coin? will leave you laughing-even as you're learning. "Should you read this book or not? If you don't read it you will surely miss out on Lewis's flinty wit and sharp sense of irony. The choice is clear. You needn't even flip a coin."-The Sciences "Lighthearted but far from flippant."-Amazon.com (Science Editor's Recommended Book), An introduction to what is known as decision science, an area of study that examines how people make decisions in all aspects of life, from who to marry to how much to invest on the stock market. In this book, the author reveals what science has discovered about the rules that determine making good decisions. Using lots of brain-teasing and examples from everyday situations, this text explains how to make the best decisions. The main point of the book is there are rational and irrational ways to make decisions - you have a better chance of doing it right with the rational ones., "It is rare to come across a book that can truly be called fascinating, but here is one."New Scientist Why Flip a Coin?
