Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World

For anyone who has to make split-second decisions in overwhelming circumstances, an easy-to-manage approach to decision-making and problem-solving that outperforms sophisticated models and big data analysis. A guide for taming complexity in one's personal and professional life, this book demonstrates how lessons in efficiency can be derived from sometimes unexpected places--from Tina Fey's experience on SNL to how burglars select their targets. Drawing on over a decade of research, the authors explain how to create and apply your own arsenal of simple rules to tackle even the most complex problems. von Sull, Donald
