Thanks for the warning. I'll go with my normal approach to non-entertaining non-fiction and just read a couple of online summaries.

You can't cheat with reading. Whatever you think of NNT he carefully picks metaphors to simplify underlying fabric. When I read a book it feels like a conversation with the writer, it takes me through a new door and unlocks another paradigm. Try to read the whole Skin in the Game book. It's worth the investment. Summaries are like a hand job it doesn't compare with the real deal.
I'd give you multiple points for the handjob metaphor of I could.
