Summary of Erez Yoeli & Moshe Hoffman's Hidden Games

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The cover of Sports Illustrated, which we are used to seeing adorned by athletes and models, once featured the laughing, square-jawed face of Bobby Fischer. He was a chess champion who gained popularity in the 1972. He was so great because he had a touch of luck and a ton of practice, and an obsessive passion. #2 There are entire fields devoted to judgment, decision-making, and positive psychology, and sections of bookstores dedicated to self-help, but no one has a clear explanation for why passion is so important. #3 Altruism is another domain that we will try to understand. It is clear that we are not driven by impact, but we are still very caring and giving. We are not driven by impact, but we are not driven by impact either. #4 We are not just ineffective, but also strategically ignorant. We would never knowingly infect a sexual partner with an STI, but we are content with not getting tested, even if we know we are at high risk. We avoid the information, and we avoid the ask.
