Good book recommendation-"Strategic thinking"

Recently spent nearly one months to re-read the "strategic thinking" a book, re-understand the art of game theory, as well as economic, social and other phenomena beyond the imagination of the ability to solve. It is very rewarding and has a lot of feelings.

This book wins the story and the actual case, with many stories and cases, to the non-economic foundation of the reader to show the game theory of strategic thinking, no longer for the obscure game theory of theoretical knowledge headache burning brain. In short, it is the art of predicting your opponent's strategy and thus conquered. such as how to win a tennis game, a few how to overcome the majority, why to understand what your opponent is thinking and so on.

Yet it is by no means a book that teaches you to be opportunistic. Although there are many practical cases, the actual restoration of the scene at the time, but due to different backgrounds and industries, these cases can only provide some references, can not be directly taken. In fact, although we can not directly take it, but this book teaches us, is to consider the problem of thinking. comprehensively consider various factors and environment, static analysis, dynamic analysis. Looking forward, backward reasoning, analysis to find their own and each other's advantage strategy. As long as mastering the basic principles of game play, analyzing the situation and countermeasures of both sides of competition, and studying the behavior of opponents, we can winning thousands.

This book introduces the four rules of strategy game. The way of thinking about everyday problems is very helpful.

1. Forward-looking, backward reasoning.

2. If you have an advantage strategy, please do so. (Similarly, if the opponent has an advantage strategy, he will execute his dominant strategy no matter how he disguises his strategy)

3. Eliminate all disadvantage strategies, do not consider, so step by step.

4. After the search for the advantage strategy and the shortcut to eliminate the disadvantage strategy, the next step is to find the balance of the game.

These four rules, concise and clear, contain the process of successive action, also contains the process of simultaneous action, and finally to make a balanced strategy, that is, the core of the Nobel Prize-the balance of the NA.

Some of the examples in the book are impressive, such as the Prisoner's dilemma, where the author analyzes and cracks the seemingly unbreakable 0 and the game, and describes how to get out of the dilemma, collaborate, and build a credible commitment in various environments, so that you have the best strategy. There are bargaining, voting, fringe policies, and so on, through examples and case studies to explain the principles of the strategy, how to make a choice to find a balanced strategy.

My own point of perception:

The son is not a fish, how to know the joy of fish. To catch fish, think first like a fish. We are in the game with the opponent, to bring ourselves into the other side of the way of thinking, standing in the opponent's perspective to observe the world, the right to predict the other side of the line to determine your best strategy is essential. However, it is not so easy to see the world from the perspective of others, we always like to see others as the same as themselves, think of themselves as someone else's idea. The so-called do unto others come back haunting, his desires are also applied to people. Through the game theory of learning, he asked you to put yourself in, carefully imagine, careful analysis, if in the other side of the situation, the idea of what changes, even if you can not agree with their views, only in this way, can really guess the other person's true intentions, choose the best strategy.

PS: This book compared to burn the brain, the book of various strategies and cases need to constantly deduce in the brain, so, the IQ is not enough to see, not necessarily can understand.
