How to Think Like a Rocket Scientist - Ozan Varol

[netnet]

I'm halfway through Think Like a Rocket Scientist.  It just came out this week. Varol really was a rocket scientist who left NASA to go back to university to become a law professor.

 

It's is a great book. Varol is a good writer, who makes a narrative cohere to his point.  The first chapter on decision making under uncertainty is worth the price of the book one year of college.

 

I am a great believer in building and using various thinking tools. I've read a shelf full of books on thinking.  Varol's will go into my highly used reference section with Thinking Fast and Slow and Poor Charlie's Almanack

This book was referenced in the interview with Mark Leonard (not by him but by the interviewer) and sounded compelling so I am going to give it a read.
