The book is full of interesting mathematical concepts which, according to the author, can be applied in the everyday life. The author enriches the content by adding comprehensive examples and historical accounts of the brilliant mathematicians behind the theories discussed. That makes the book very interesting. However, the book makes one common mistake found in many books about mathematics: the explanation of the mathematical concepts are too short and incomplete to provide a good understanding of them. Maybe, that was the intent of the author. But, that makes the reading very difficult. I've sometime found myself reading some parts of the book over and over, trying to get a minimum understanding of some theories. Anyway,  the book has some useful advices about how mathematics can help you not to be wrong in some very important subjects. That by itself makes it worth reading.
