The Art of Strategy

A Game Theorist's Guide to Success in Business and Life

Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it. Mastering game theory will make you more successful in business and life, and this lively book is the key to that mastery.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I am hard pressed to think of another book that can match the combination of practical insights and reading enjoyment." (Steven Levitt)

Caught the authors on lies and bs

Some of the stories in the beginning are made up and total bs. I was enjoying the book but lost all credibility and trust for it. Check out the story about the cab fare in Jerusalem for example. Totally made up numbers that are bot possible and a completely impossible tale of what happened.

Strategic Interaction: How to Do Well on Purpose

Excellent presentation of critical principles. Interesting because the principles are presented through stories. My only caveat would be that the authors occasionally slip into talking as if all strategic actors act in a way that comports 100% with traditional economic theory. However, as behavioral economics has demonstrated persuasively actual human beings depart from these assumptions at least some of the time.

Provides significant amount of game theory as applied.

Great stuff

Great stuff, definitely changed my way of thinking, looking forward to hearing other books like this

Trying to get rid its a great book

How do i delete this from my library? I dont want it to be there so i could have it be cleared

not meant as an audio book, missing key info

the stories are there, but during the read thru, many times it refers to charts or maps that cannot be expressed or is omitted outright in this audio book.
