Black Box Thinking: Why Some People Never Learn from Their Mistakes - But Some Do by Matthew Syed
5.0
I initially was interested in the book because I thought the “black box” is what the term means in electrical engineering, it turns out that it refers to the black box in airplanes.
Nonetheless, this is one of my favourite books I read this year. Although the topic seems very corny - it’s important to learn from failures, but the author is able to dissect this argument from so many angles all with case studies narrated in a really intriguing way. A lot of times I felt it was as a page turner as a fiction.
I am especially fond of the chapter on randomised control trial. It just opened my eyes about why sometimes data alone without context can be misleading.
Really enjoy this book! Highly recommended!
