An absolutely brilliant investigation of a massive societal problem that has been hiding in plain sight

We like to think we make decisions based on good reasoning – and that our doctors, judges, politicians, economic forecasters, and employers do too. In this groundbreaking book, three world-leading behavioural scientists come together to assess the last great fault in our collective decision-making: noise.

We all make bad judgements more than we think. Noise shows us what we can do to make better ones.
