Recommendation
In this lovely book, Max Bazerman, co-director of Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership, does a fine job of examining factors that lead you not to notice a lot of what is going on around you. He identifies conditions that make it harder for you to notice. While some of his examples of “failure to notice” are standard – such as the unseen gorilla in the basketball video and the Challenger explosion mechanical fault – many are new. Bazerman’s unique blend of humility, clarity and insight make his exploration particularly appealing. getAbstract recommends his research and advice to anyone interested in the emerging field of behavioral economics or, generally, in how to think better and see more.
