As the title suggests book about decision making process. Case studies of people who make rapid decisions under pressure such as firefighters, pilots and poker players.

Information about delayed gratification included, negativity bias and loss aversion which it relates this to the Deal or No Deal TV show.  How choices are presented can change the outcome selected for example you have a 90% chance of living versus 10% chance of death.  The themes are very similar to Thinking Fast and Slow.
