Why do you need this?
I ask because if you're serious about this then you'll need a lot of math (particularly set theory and probability). I haven't read the book recommended above, but if it's from 1965 then I'm pretty sure it cannot be updated (although it could be a good introduction). I can only recommend the more mathematical ones.
Where exactly have the big advances in either set theory or probability theory been on the last forty years?

But it's true that the most fascinating stuff came earlier.
What are you studying Ponderable?

Well, isn't it nice?
I ask for little or non numerical decision making books and the thread ends up
in a discussion regarding how much sophistication and mathematical mumbo jumbo
I should get.
Isn't there something like 'Barney Makes Decisions' ?

The post that was quoted here has been removedI lose, you win
I lose, you win
I lose, you win
I lose again
But you're on my five-year plan
Your time will come
When you least expect it, expect it!
The five-year plan
You *****d me over
You did me wrong
You know why
I wrote this song
The five-year plan
Until the, I'll just pretend
That you are still my friend
But in the end, your time will come
When you least expect it, expect it!
The five-year plan
I don't forget so easily
No, I'm not so quick to forget
The five-year plan
I hold a grudge
I live for revenge
The five-year plan
I win, you lose
I win, you lose
I win!
