The Dixit book is very very good. Probably the best & most actionable popular introduction to game theory that I know.

I checked out the amazon reviews. "Actionable" is the key, isn't it? Not like those academic works which are totally useless in practical life.
Do you know {ipse dixit}? It's humorous that an author named Dixit discusses perspectives and even how one can get trapped in a perspective.

I don't know him personally but I went to a lecture by him once. Dixit is a pretty common Indian surname from what I can see. There are a few Bollywood stars with that name and people make fun of it all the time.
Most of academic economics is pretty useless & wrong anyway -- except for certain subfields within game theory imo, most of which contains too much unnecessary formalism.

A quick internet search says {dixit}//{dikshit(ar)} is Hindi. It's cool to learn it signifies "giver of knowledge" and was a name for the Brahmin caste. Seeing as Sanskrit and Latin are related it makes sense there is a connection between the meanings of {dixit}. Learning this just makes it doubly ironic, b/c it's like Dixit should be the one to know being a "giver of knowledge" ;) and yet how could he be right when it's only his point of view ;) --maybe it is not so amusing but I find these are bon mots.
