The book serves a nice intro to Bayes theory for an absolute newbie. There is minimal math in the book. Whatever little math that’s mentioned, is accompanied by figures and text so that a newbie to this subject “gets” the basic philosophy of Bayesian inference. The book is a short one spanning 150 odd pages that can be read in a couple of hours. The introductory chapter of the book comprises few examples that repeat the key idea of Bayes.

Via boingboing: Someone stole $90 million from a company I was involved in. I’m a poor judge of people. The company collapsed. Some things I can’t learn. I tend to like people too much. So it’s hard for me to be a good judge of people, no matter how much I try. So I find other people who are good at judging people and I ask them to help me.
