About this listen

Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it. Mastering game theory will make you more successful in business and life, and this lively book is the key to that mastery.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"I am hard pressed to think of another book that can match the combination of practical insights and reading enjoyment." (Steven Levitt)
All stars
Most relevant
It could be more technical.
Some references to tables and diagrams not suitable for audiobook.

Good introduction

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Regurgitating game theory and calling it strategy, does not combine the two. This book explains game theory well, with out the mathematics, and relates it to the real world. But falls short on the subject of strategy.

Not worth my time

I got this audio book to listen to whilst walking my dog. It refers constantly to the accompanying pdf and is therefore limited value for the purpose.
