It is not deserving of it. The book reveals how snap judgements from an expert can be right at times and and other times wrong. Well, thanks for telling me the obvious. I thought it was a money and time. Save your money from this one... I too read this and am amazed why at why this book is so highly praised/hyped. It is not deserving of it.

Thanks, you just saved me a bunch of time. “There was nothing I could learn from this book that could be applied as advice or thoughts for the typical investor.”

What I mostly got out of it was how flawed our snap judgements can be...and yet we are so sure of their reliability (and yes, there were the tales of expert thin-slicing that were fascinating). I think it's a great read...but like you, I don't see a personal finance connection.
