About the book
The aircraft tolerates the crash because the pilot forgets about control due to a non-working light bulb on the panel. Judges in the National Hockey League give more penalties if the team plays in a dark form. We make a decision for whom to vote in the elections, at the moment when we look at the photo of the candidates, and further viewing of television and information about candidates does not affect our decision. A thirteen -year -old boy finds a mistake in the calculations of NASA experts.
We make a lot of mistakes, fatal and insignificant. And we admit for a variety of reasons: we believe in our multitasking, we overestimate our abilities, believing that we are above the average level, think of patterns and patterns, losing sight of the little things.
The author shows how we are mistaken, with examples from healthcare, football, advertising, investment, education, auto industry and many other spheres of life. And he tells what needs to be done to avoid many mistakes.
Retribution of 2014.
