It is filled with accounts of mistakes made by professionals in medicine, finance, transport security and art. Also plenty by commoners as eyewitnesses, shoppers, planners, map readers etc. There are also a lot of facts, statistics and results from research in Psychology.
However, there is no mention of the biological roots that make us the way we are. A look at Evolutionary Psychology for some material would have greatly helped this book.
A very good thing about such books is they really make the reader analyze her own behavior for rationality.
A very bad thing is the assumption that we all wish to optimize our actions for either time or money.
