What is Umění správného rozhodování about?

Rolf Dobelli starts from the idea that decisions can improve by eliminating recurring mistakes. The book presents 52 errors and traps involving thought, judgment, and action. It asks why more information is not always an advantage, why propaganda works, why we overlook important facts, and why we plan too many tasks. The German original, Die Kunst des klugen Handelns: 52 Irrwege, die Sie besser anderen überlassen, was published by Hanser in 2012. Dobelli's official website confirms that it follows Die Kunst des klaren Denkens. SOURCE_FACT describes the 2013 Czech electronic edition, translator Olga Richterová, and its 240-page length.
