Description
Identical patients receive different diagnoses from doctors in the same city, while judges in the same court hand down different sentences for people who have committed the same crime. This variability in judgement is known as noise, and it can have a significant impact on many fields, including medicine, law, and economic forecasting.
Noise is the result of human error and bias in decision-making, and it can be found wherever people are making judgements and taking actions. In this book, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein explore the causes and consequences of noise, and provide practical solutions for reducing its impact.
By understanding how noise affects our judgements and decisions, we can take steps to make better ones. With its sharp analysis and breadth of case study, Noise offers a valuable guide for individuals and organizations looking to improve their decision-making and achieve better outcomes.
