The book gives some interesting actionable insights about decision making but it's mostly for non technical audience because it explains some algorithmic concepts with common use language.
This was like a math-themed self-improvement and productivity book. Even though I'm terrible at math I was able to keep up consistently and remain interested throughout. There are some great bits on scheduling theory, sorting and caching, and game theory that I chose the book for. There was also unexpectedly great bits on willpower, regret, singletasking, and kindness.
It was interesting and applicable. Occasionally it got bogged down, but it was mostly applicable.
