"An eye-opening examination of the stupid things smart people do ; and how to cultivate skills to protect ourselves from error" ; From book jacket.

Smart people are not only just as prone to making mistakes as everyone else, they may be even more susceptible to them. Robson shows how even the brightest minds and most talented organizations can go wrong. He also explores cutting-edge ideas in our understanding of intelligence and expertise, including "strategic ignorance," "meta-forgetfulness," and "functional stupidity." ; adapted from jacket
