Wonderful book on game theory. The examples from history, literature and from every day life make the discussions lively and entertaining. Mathematics and complex reasoning is kept to a minimum and conversational, easy-to-follow logic is generally adopted. The case studies at the end of each chapter helps to sum up understanding and we can easily breeze through the book with the assurance that the final chapter of case studies will refresh any idea that we might be unclear on. All in all, a grea...more

This is how a book should be written.
It is a fantastic introduction to game theory for the intelligent layman. It covers strategic decision making for innumerable scenarios, including but not limited to: poker, political campaigns, takeover bids, business negotiations, baseball pitches, bargaining, labor relations, tax audits, and nuclear war. The authors strike the perfect blend of in-depth coverage of the technical topics, like Bayes theorem, with concrete examples illustrating the concepts. T...more

Recommends it for: the people intersted in game theory
It is a book to learn the game theory from basic.
This book is ideal as introduction to game theory.
Learning the game theory by using the game.
It is to incorporate all the basic essence of game theory.

Oh game theory! I agree with the fact that knowledge of how to play games matters but this book was more academic than mainstream. Economics is a dismal science though, and this book does not even make an effort examining moral implications of many games.
Things I learned:
- To improve the effectiveness of your backhand in tennis, improve your forehand so your opponent respects (and plays more) against your forehand.
- When you're #1 in the industry, let the competitors drive the innovation and imi...more
Thinking strategically is an excellent book for those interested in Game Theory or gaining a better understanding of how to effectively react to the oppositions move in various situations within business, sports and personal life.
The way in which each subject is outlined is brilliant; an introduction to an idea followed by a simplistic example then a case study to ensure that the reader fully comprehends the matter in discussion.
The only reason that I did not rate this above a three was due to...more

It's not one of those 'motivation' books, the caption for the book is misleading. Application of strategies in all walks of life-sports, casinos, business, politics, and everyday life-using case studies are presented in this book. Although majority of the case studies are explained based on rudimentary concepts in game theory, there are instances of using probability and psychology concepts as well. Overall, a very good no non-sense read, which is not very thought provoking but interesting in mo...more
A primer on game theory - it attempted to explain the main concepts in lay language, without going too much into the maths. Found portions difficult as some examples were drawn from baseball and american football, which I'm not familiar with. Still, there are many other interesting examples that will warp your brain. Some of the mathematical explanations were also beyond me. My main grouse with game theory is that it assumes that players are logical, which is apparently not true all of the time....more
The book focuses on game theory as strategy. The overview of the game theories is decent. Unfortunately, the authors attempt to convert everything to a quantifiable value that can then be run through standard formulas. Personally, I think a lot of the quantification is highly qualitative and therefore isn't quite as straightforward as it's made out to be in the book.
A fantastic read! Inundated with examples of politics, sports, and business. Relevant case studies are provided post chapters. An active mind is required while reading the book. Definitely a mind expanding book!
Tough going but a good overview of game theory as it applies to strategy.

Fantastic introduction to game theory. I would highly recommend this book to everyone I've ever met.
A very interesting, quick, and easy read. The only dry section was about 20 pages on politics, of the ≈ 376 pages; somewhere around 280. The politics section, in my opinion, is more about winning for the sake of winning and less about winning with meaning, principles, or a philosophy in mind; basically, become as bland and ordinary as possible, more ordinary than the people you are running against, and you will be more likely to win that election- that is a major waste of time and a loss in my b...more

This book should really be called an introduction to game theory. I certainly enjoyed it as a way to think about problems and reduce them to a polynomial equation that solves for a particular variable. You can take this a step further and find local minimum and maximum in any given function to find optimal solutions which is essentially what is most of modern machine learning. The hard part is getting an accurate function to define your problem which generally takes a lot of data. This book was...more
I decided to read this book after we started the 'Game Theory' topic at university. I started with listening Audible version but later understood that, for this book, illustrations are important. My main conclusion is that the book is a great introduction to the Game Theory.
The book provides us with a good overview of strategic principles. One of its advantages is that the authors give a lot of examples from various industries and life situations, which helps to better understand the theory. The...more

I loved reading this book. The book goes through basic concepts of game theory in detail, using examples and diagrams to break down a concept. The book is written in a way that explains a concept then expands upon the subject with examples and case studies. The examples are great for explaining concepts and make this book an interesting and informative read. The authors use real-life examples that all people can relate to in everyday life as well as political, business, and military games. The c...more
I came to Thinking Strategically with already sparkled interest in game theory and read it just out of curiosity. The book is driven forward by examples. That's not a bad thing by itself, but I found them too artificial, dry and bookish quite often, not to mention all of the baseball and American football ones (somehow a fact that not all readers would be from North America was overlooked). In general it was slow and low-energy read which failed to capture my full attention and imagination. Some...more

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 importante topic that wil...more
I woke up one morning and I decided that I want to learn more about game theory, mainly affected by Prof. Daskalakis of MIT and his Nash theorem proof. The book describes in detail game theory concepts and how these can be applicable in business. I would categorize it more as an academic read, and for a niche audience. Not easy to read and not really with a captivating flow. But I dont think this was its purpose. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn about game theory, and has at le...more
I really enjoy math, statistics, and strategy so this book is great. Since I am not an expert in any of those fields it was a little tough to follow at times (or should I say just plain over my head). It is certainly a great book that I will read a couple more times to fully grasp. The subject must intrigue you or you will not enjoy the book. The author explains everything very clearly so it is certainly something that can be reread and understood. One of my major issues was that I tried to list...more

This books does a great job at explaining game theory using a high level introduction to the different areas of decision making. Overall the examples where easy to follow with a couple of exceptions. I don't feel like an expert in game theory after reading this, but now I have a starting point to keep exploring.

Somewhat confusing at times, but mostly enlightening book on game theory and how to bargain. I think I'm smarter having read it even if I did not get it all. Perhaps a second read will take me further.
The example are a bit too old and too American, as a French reader with few knowledge in American politics or baseball or other American speciality I felt sometimes difficult to get the example.
Great concepts covered overall, plethora of examples
A bit hard to understand at times, but only required slowing down my reading to parse the information. Really good introduction to the practical applications of game theory.

Never before have I thought of Game Theory as anything other than armchair intellectualism.

After his dramatic speech, someone in the audience shouted out, asking what Khrushchev had been doing at the time. Khrushchev responded by asking the questioner to please stand up and identify himself. The audience remained silent. Khrushchev replied: 'That is what I did, too.” — 2 likes
