A masterful introduction to the state of the art in managerial decision-making, this book is surprisingly enjoyable to read. Daniel Kahneman, the author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, praises it as a lively and research-based tour of nine common decision-making traps, along with practical tools for avoiding them. We make decisions every day, without even realizing it. Yet, even the smartest and most experienced among us often fall into predictable errors. So, what makes a good decision? Should we rely on our intuitions, and if so, when? How can we avoid being tripped up by cognitive biases, even when we are not aware of them?
You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake! offers clear and practical advice that distills the latest developments in behavioral economics and cognitive psychology into actionable tools for making clever, effective decisions in business and beyond. Drawing on decades of research and real-world examples, the book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and navigating the complex world of decision-making. It helps readers identify and overcome cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, overconfidence, and the availability heuristic, which can lead to poor decision-making. The book also offers practical strategies for improving decision-making skills, such as gathering and analyzing relevant information, considering multiple perspectives, and using decision-making frameworks and tools. Whether you are a business professional, a student, or simply someone who wants to improve their decision-making abilities, this book is a valuable resource. It offers a wealth of insights and practical tips that can help you make smarter, more informed decisions in all aspects of your life.
