The Thimbles Summary

The Decision Book

The book in one sentence

Most hard decisions get easier when you sketch them as a simple model, and this pocket-sized book hands you fifty ready-made ones to borrow.

Who it's for

Managers, facilitators and trainers who need a quick framework for a workshop, and anyone who keeps circling the same decision without getting anywhere.

The big idea

We already think in models, even if we don’t call them that. A to-do list sorted by urgency is a model. So is a pros-and-cons column. Krogerus and Tschäppeler, two Swiss writers trained at the Danish Kaospilot school, gather fifty of the most useful thinking tools from management, psychology and economics. Each gets a short explanation and a hand-drawn diagram, usually on a single spread. The book doesn’t argue a thesis. It’s a toolkit, organised into four groups: improving yourself, understanding yourself, understanding others, and improving others.

The full summary continues with the five ideas worth keeping, three things to try this week, the 5-minute deep dive and our full verdict, as a PDF to keep.
