Most of us face the same questions every day: What do I want? And how can I get it? How can I live more happily and work more efficiently?
A UK bestseller, The Decision Book distils into a single volume the fifty best decision-making models used on MBA courses and elsewhere that will help you tackle these important questions - from the well known (the Eisenhower matrix for time management) to the less familiar but equally useful (the Swiss Cheese model). It will even show you how to remember everything you will have learned by the end of it.
Stylish and compact, this little black book is a powerful asset. Whether you need to plot a presentation, assess someone's business idea or get to know yourself better, this unique guide will help you simplify any problem and take steps towards the right decision.
It is a little of a blog fodder to talk about strategic thinking and decision making model in my otherwise pleasure reading literary book review blog; but models were really what I do at work for awhile and still love them a lot. Pictures do speak a thousand words, a lot of complex management theories can easily be summed up by a 2 by 2 grid.
Some models I could put in good use, models that I think could be quite cool to stick up on my home or cubicle just to re-condition my thinking. However there are some that I just look at it and think.. hmm what does it really mean? What is it saying? Every model is only accompanied with a very short notes, so unless the reader gets it with a snap of fingers, otherwise the meaning is all lost.
The book is brief and can well be completed within a day or two. These models are not something that can be used only for some academic opportunity rather to also make simple everyday decisions. Not only this, but the book can also come handy whilst making some presentation and you want to substantiate your ideas with a model to simplify and explain.

The Decision Book contains 50 models for decision making and strategic thinking. These models are categorized in such a way as to help you quickly find the set of models pertinent to what you are considering, such as:
Within each of these categories you will find several models, each presented with a description and diagram to give you, as a decision maker, information regarding what situation the model is intended for and how to use it.
So, what makes a decision model more applicable to oneself? The model, fundamentally, is more internally reflexive, asking for focus on the decision makers themselves. Looking at the book, the self-reflexive models are subdivided into Self Improvement and Self Understanding. Improvement models are for understanding where to take action, where Understanding models are about better comprehension.
The Decision Book is best thought of as a handbook for decision makers. Whatever situation you face, you can find at least one appropriate model in this book that will allow you to effectively evaluate your situation and come to the best possible solution. But the call it just a handbook would be doing the book an injustice. The book is more than that. It is an invocation to think of models as tools. Where there is no best fit for a given situation, think about what a model would need to do to address it. Record and refine that model. As it becomes stable, consider sharing it with others. Help others solve their own problems with your model.
Making decisions is hard. This book provides a framework for any choice, from what to eat for lunch to how to settle and argument to whether or not to apply for a new job. Written as a business book, but helpful for anyone who suffers from indecisiveness or decision fatigue. Fifty different models are presented to help structure your understanding of the challenges and dilemmas you face, and figure out what to do. For instance the Rubber Band Model shows you how to approach a problem with many possible solutions, and the Personal Performance Model can help you sort out a potential career move. Illustrated, good for learning to think more flexibly and take executive action.

Mental models are simplified representations of thecomplex real world. They are like a set of crutches for our brains, which aid us when making decisions.But sometimes these crutches may hamper, rather than help us.Cognitive biases are deficiencies in how we think and behave.Thus, recognizing them is crucial in mitigating poor decision making and essential to finesse our mental toolbox.
