Book Reviews of Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions

Book Review: Excellent perspective on decision making in the real world
Summary: 4 Stars

If you have worked in the decision support arena for as many years as I have, it is immensely useful to see the traditional, deliberate, compare-all-options approach of decision making contrasted with the process that experienced decision makers seem to follow. Klein provides numerous examples of this in his book.
