Think Smart - Act Smart: Avoiding The Business Mistakes That Even Intelligent People Make
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2007, Pages: 176
Why Do Smart People Sometimes Do Such Stupid Things?
In 1720 Isaac Newton lost a fortune in a stock market crash that he had personally predicted. How could this happen? Since the discoverer of gravity and the inventor of calculus can hardly be accused of stupidity, we must seek other reasons for this, and other, high-profile judgment errors by very smart people.
Whether you are a CEO, a business manager, or simply a student of human behaviour, Think Smart—Act Smart reveals why smart people make costly mistakes and provides you with a realistic plan to think smart in your life and on the job
Each chapter starts with a fictional narrative showing the particular thought pattern in question, explains the thought pattern and how it arises, provides a real-world example (where one can say how could he have been so stupid?), additional cases studies, and finally countermeasures that can be done to protect the reader from committing the same error.
