Review: Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness

Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Easy and nice read on behavior economics (specially for non-economists), with good takeaways, insights and useful advice ...from 2/3 of the book onwards slightly repetitive as the thesis, associated concepts were already duly presented and explained.

Do recommend its reading if interested on the subject!

Review: A Practical Guide to Risk Management

A Practical Guide to Risk Management by Thomas S. Coleman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good insights about this complex and interesting topic. An introduction (doubts about the practicality),as a caveat you do need advanced knowledge in probabilities, statistics, and complex financial instruments to fully understand all the examples provided.

Review: Thinking Strategically

Thinking Strategically by Avinash K. Dixit
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good introduction to the game theory topic (my rating would be 3.5)

You can clearly date the book based on the examples given, but nonetheless worthwhile Reading. Sometimes the cases are too simple and sometimes, in a couple of exemples, the rationale is not presented clearly that obliges the reader to go back and forth in the books pages to grasp it.

For all interested in the subject (that should be at least every economist, financier or manager), opens the door to this important topic that will allow you to make better and more informed strategic or even tactic decisions.
