“It is a how-to guide on critical thinking for managers. Although it is a very serious subject it is written in a pleasant, engaging and easy-to-read style and is larded with some fun, enlightening and sometimes challenging intermezzos. The book has a certain focus on decision making and pursuasion as the subtitle discloses and it is a very efficient pick from the vast world of critical thinking for practical use by managers.” (Paul Hartog, goodreads.com, July 15, 2021)
