Avoiding risk at all costs is a very risky path, says the prominent Israeli mathematician and philosopher, best-selling author Chaim Shapira. His concise, humorous book is full of instructive paradoxes and examples that share a central theme: the story of how game theory influences our lives, how its principles can be used in negotiations, developing strategic thinking skills, fair sharing of burdens and solving a variety of everyday problems. “This book deals with game theory and touches lightly on a number of important ideas in statistics and probability theory. These three areas of thinking are the scientific basis for how we make decisions in life. Yes, the topics are quite serious, but I did my best to make the book both accurate and entertaining. After all, enjoying life is just as important as learning new things.” (Chaim Shapira)The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
