Very interesting collection of evidence counter to all those college psychology classes that claim what humans actually do make sense than the rigors of logic or statistical probability would allow.

It took me a while to finish, as it was bathroom reading, but no less enjoyable for all that. Very interesting, and challenging, especially in this era of constant "planning",

Kind of cursory treatment of intuition. The problem is that the author keeps attributing everything to intuitive heuristics but pays absolutely no heed to any practical advice or indeed any serious discussion of how any of these results were shown. Just descriptions of how the author was much smarter than the academics who thought that logical thinking was the basis for everything. Self-hagiographic would be a good description, I guess.
