The Upside of Uncertainty

My most frustrating experience of reading a book is when I need to spend time reading words, lines, paragraphs, pages without any meaningful progress in the content. This book could have been a tenth of what it is, if the authors didn't spend so much space in just citing examples, with little relevance to the subject. The core ideas are tucked at the end of each chapter, and that's easily evidenced by much lesser number of examples that they expect the reader to go through.

Overall, one could just read those chapter summaries and be done with the book. However, some of them didn't even seem relevant to this topic of uncertainty - which is why this goes to the bottom rung in my ratings.
