  After the successful amphibious invasion on D-Day in June 1944, the Allies began racing east toward Germany and liberating France along the way. It was Hitler’s belief that by splitting the Allied march across Europe in their drive toward Germany, he could cause the collapse of the enemy armies and cut off their supply lines. Part of Hitler’s confidence came as a result of underestimating American resolve, but with the Soviets racing toward Berlin from the east, this final offensive would truly be the last gasp of the German war machine, and the month long campaign was fought over a large area of the Ardennes Forest, through France, Belgium and parts of Luxembourg. From an Allied point of view, the operations were commonly referred to as the Ardennes Offensive, while the German code phrase for the operation was Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (“Operation Watch on the Rhine”), with the initial breakout going under the name of “Operation Mist.” Today, Americans know it best as the Battle of the Bulge. 
  After resisting the German attack, the Allied armies began advancing, and with that, the race to Berlin was truly on. In April 1945, the Allies were within sight of the German capital of Berlin, but Hitler refused to acknowledge the collapsed state of the German military effort even at this desperate stage, and he confined himself to his Berlin bunker where he met for prolonged periods only with those that professed eternal loyalty, even to the point of death. In his last weeks, Hitler continued to blame the incompetence of military officers for Germany’s apparent failings, and he even blamed the German people themselves for a lack of spirit and strength. As their leader dwelled in a state of self-pity, without remorse or mercy but near suicide, the people of Berlin were simply left to await their fate as Russians advanced from the east and the other Allies advanced from the west.

  To avoid the traps of bias and irrationality and make better, productive decisions, we need to stop thinking in disciplines—and start thinking in graphs. 
  Why do we feel confident as novices but question ourselves as experts? What makes some achievements feel more deserving than others? Do we really get happier the more wealth we accumulate? How do stress levels impact our productivity? 
  Every day, we are overwhelmed by multitudes of choices and challenges—some clear and intuitive, while others are shaped beyond the scope of our awareness. To predict and overcome them, experts have devised multitudes of complicated principles and disciplines to explain everything from how we feel to why we act.

  The Dunning-Kruger Effect – Pareto’s Law (The 80/20 principle) – Decision Fatigue – Loss Aversion – The Bystander Effect – The Law of Diminishing Returns – The Yerkes-Dodson Law – Happiness-Income Correlation – and more. 
  With insights drawn from psychology, sociology, economics, philosophy, and more, The Art of Thinking in Graphs bridges the gap between academic research and practical application.
