pickI really loved “The Ghost Map”, so I wanted to give this one a crack. It‘s all about the how the science/ art of decision making has improved over the centuries. I enjoyed reflecting on the process of making decisions and how key various human faculties are to a successful process.

so-soA+ for the first half of this book. But Johnson lost me in chapter 4.
As I feel with a disproportionate number of nonfiction reads - the first half has all the useful meat.
so-soI was really interested to see Johnson take on neuroscience and decision making analysis. He‘s packed a lot of information into the book, with several major examples he returns to as a way of explaining concepts (the capture of bin Laden, Washington‘s loss in Brooklyn, etc). However, this just didn‘t gel as a compulsively readable work of narrative science reporting.
