Adam Wolf is a fan.

I think this book is often mentioned along with a related one that I'm forgetting now.

This could be a fun candidate for an alternating book club. [ps, now "book brigade"]

I guess I immodestly imagine myself to be well-versed in all the things a popularization of decision theory might include? But if enough people tell me I should read this then I probably will!
