About this listen
What blinkered Einstein and Edison? Why did Steve Jobs and NASA make lethal errors of judgement? How might environmental disaster and social inequality be averted?
It is time for us to learn a new way of thinking.
The 21st century presents complex problems that require a wiser way of reasoning, one that recognises our current limitations, tolerates ambiguity and uncertainty, balances multiple perspectives, and bridges diverse areas of expertise.
Whatever our age and experience, whether a NASA scientist or a school student, we will benefit from wielding our minds with insight, precision, social sensitivity and humility.
In an exhilarating journey through current research, drawing on insight from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin and some of the world’s most successful industries, award-winning science journalist David Robson shows how to build a cognitive toolkit to help us all maximise our full potential.

Excellent
A bit slow to start with, then excellent. Thought provoking when it comes to managing risk, and simple mistakes that caused tremendous losses.

I wished he hadn't touched on the political. Unnecessary. Other than that a great book.

Good material
The historical examples are excellent to convey the key insights around biases. I find it amusing that the author engages in similar dogmatic judgement while simultaneously extolling the virtues of cultivating the wisdom to practice curiosity.

Rubbish
Bad science, unquantifiable data
Just rubbish
Elitist and unhinged
The author needs therapy to deal with his obvious inferiority complex
