Do you think I get an incomplete picture by reading Accelerated Expertise (the actual book, not just the summary) before the Tacit Knowledge series? I like reading books more than blog posts.

I would recommend the series first — AE assumes familiarity with the recognition primed decision making model (or RPD) which I cover in the series.

If you want to read books to prepare yourself, read:

- Sources of Power by Gary Klein

- Power of Intuition by Gary Klein

Before AE.

And then be prepared to download LOTS of papers to read concurrently while reading the book. AE is not written for the layperson.

I have at least a passing familiarity with recognition primed decision making, although I haven't specifically read Klein beyond his adversarial collaboration with Kahneman. Maybe I could benefit from a perspective that is purely Klein's.

I do enjoy a good not-for-laypeople book. Thanks for the information!
