Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life

Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life Review

This is a terrific book written by two prominent researchers in the field of game theory who decided to bring their area of expertise to the masses. It fully deserves its bestseller status for distilling many of the most important concepts from game theory into a math-free format, with plenty of salient applications. Anyone who enjoys this book should be able to take something useful from it.

Thinking Strategically was required as a supplementary text in a game theory course I took as an undergrad; while I enjoyed the notation-heavy textbook, Osborne's An Introduction to Game Theory, Dixit and Nalebuff are beyond comparison in their ability to distill complicated problems into simple, intuitive solutions.
