If you don't understand what I mean by this, watch the video or read the transcript of the "Smart Heuristics" interview with Gigerenzer from 2003, on edge.org (it should be the first result if you search "Smart Heuristics Gigerenzer edge.org)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. excellent bookBy Larkin Breedthis is an excellent book. i had dr. dawes as a psychology professor at the university of michigan in the early 60's and his ideas in this book are as interesting and as clearly expressed as they were in person.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Intro To Rational ChoiceBy Wireless WorkerPros: Good explanation and introduction to 'typical' decision making and 'rational' decision making. Good examples add clarity and ease of learning. Very well written.Cons: The author becomes too involved in the undesired outcomes of bad public policy decisions (Viet Nam war).Conclusion: Highly recommend this book to those interested in improving their decision making and guarding against the decision error of others. "The authors are highly respected as leading figures in the field of judgment and decision making. There are many existing books on topics related to judgment and decision making, but this book makes a unique contribution to this field because of its systematic and scholarly approach, and its breadth of coverage." _Robert Goldstone, Indiana University
