Synopsis

The book is an explanation of why and how, with our high intelligence and vast knowledge, humans continue to make catastrophic mistakes. The author, a German psychology professor, believes people court failure through sloppy or ingrained mental habits, whether the mistakes involve cleaning dead fish out of a garden pool, adding rooms to a schoolhouse, launching economic development programs in Africa or forecasting oil prices or the scope of the AIDS epidemic
