Withdrawal of
endorsements/testimonials and apologies to my readers: I owe my readers an apology for endorsing a man based on limited
information. I have known Dobelli for a while and never read him as his work
was in German. I was under the impression that he was writing a book on
cognitive biases from a novelist's point of view... I trusted what he said I
gave him an endorsement thinking he would do a good job as a novelist (I was
careful to endorse the person, not the book). I also introduced him to my agent
and pushed for his book to be published. But I was completely shocked when,
after I got a copy of the book at his New York book party, I opened the English
version of the book. I saw passages from my work transcribed, examples rapidly
copied, with small modifications... not a novelist's approach. Sadly, it took a
decade to discover the nature of a man whose works I had never read.
