Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts by Annie Duke
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.5
A really well-written and researched book about how we should think in probabilities to help us be more realistic and honest about outcomes as a means to lead to a more fulfilling life. Duke's voice is lighthearted, fun, and authoritative, finding the balance between providing evidence with advice in a way that isn't self-help driven or forceful. There were parts I felt were a bit repetitive but I enjoyed a good number of powerful sentences and analogies to bring her points to life. A great reminder for us to check our biases, and importantly to not to everything on your own.
