Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes

Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes by Maria Konnikova

This book starts with an interesting idea and then repeats them ad nauseam. The idea is that looking at things carefully like Sherlock Holmes can be beneficial in many aspects of life and business. It is helpful to understand biases and not jump to unwarranted conclusions. We should carefully observe things and understand what details our mind is "filling in". These are some good points and would make a nice magazine article. As a book, it goes on for much too long. I kept thinking it was over, but then it would continue on with different variations of the same points.
