    Great book but the nook version is very unstable.

    My issue is with the Nook (epub) version. After reading the book--highly recommended--I was no longer able to read the book on my Nook. The publisher needs to look into this.

    Why analysis, not instinct, is best for complex decision making

    From CEOs to private investors, people tend to place far too much emphasis on their own instincts when making decisions, even though the results are often disastrous. Behavioral economist David E. Adler examines why people make life-altering decisions based on intuition, habit, gut feelings, urges or snap judgments instead of using analytical reasoning, a far better tool for complex decision making. In this absorbing, eminently readable book, Adler offers many fascinating case histories that demonstrate the dangers of intuitive thinking. After weighing the evidence carefully, getAbstract finds that investors, managers and other decision makers will certainly benefit from reading his report.
