Description
Streetlights and Shadows: Searching for the Keys to Adaptive Decision Making
Expert decision-maker Gary Klein challenges conventional wisdom on how to make decisions, arguing that experience and intuition are essential for success in complex, uncertain situations. He debunks ten commonly accepted claims about decision making, showing that they are better suited for laboratory settings than for real-life decision making.
Klein draws on examples from various fields, including aviation, weather forecasting, and sports, to illustrate how experienced decision-makers use their expertise to pick up cues and discern patterns and trends. He offers a more realistic approach to decision making, one that acknowledges the importance of experience and intuition in navigating the complexities of real-world decision making.
