Now, this is a book that everyone who has to present numbers, statistics and data in one form or another should read.  And that is almost everybody. Numbers can be so persuasive whether at your workplace, school or home, or while arguing and debating among friends! Figures  have the power to change perspectives and decision making processes - but they have to be translated well.

I love the examples given by the authors on how this can be done. As someone who has always shut down when it comes to numbers, it’s fascinating and astounding how tweaking the data here and there and presenting it in a different and yet factual way can make all the difference in the world! The authors teach us the techniques in a most accessible way in this book

I plan on doing a mindmap on the tips  before I forget them.  I’m pretty sure they will come in handy.

The notes at the back of the book will keep number-lovers very very happy and occupied for a long time.

A full 5 stars!
