Abstract
Let me start by saying that this note is not intended to be a survey, nor will I consider descriptive applications of game theory. The reader can find a lot of information about these topics in Aumann (1985) and in Aumann and Hart (1992 –). I shall concentrate on normal applications of game theory. More precisely, I shall deal with the issue of: how game theory can help people in pursuing their goals. I shall mainly deal with the pitfalls and how to guard against them I experienced in my brief encounters with such issues.
