Black Box Thinking: Marginal Gains and the Secrets of High Performance by Matthew Syed
3.0
I really enjoyed the core idea of this book and have gained a better understanding and appreciation for recognizing and learning from failure, however big or small. But I think this could've done with one or two fewer examples of reiterations as the message was repeated through various different ones quite a bit which seemed to drag in the last third or so. Putting that aside, Syed does provide clear examples and, more importantly, comparisons in how failure is approached in different scenarios and industries and how a more positive approach to failure, near misses, and everything else that doesn't meet the perfect expectation can be used to learn, grow, and just generally be better at whatever it is.
