"Rose explores the ways in which our tendency to mistake
self-assurance for expertise, to base choices on what we think
other people will choose, and to confuse a vocal fringe element for
an actual majority cause us to make bad decisions. An eye-opening,
thought-provoking book that encourages us to take a good, hard look
at ourselves."--Booklist

right. He overturns our fundamental assumptions about talent, and
offers an empowering way to rethink the world."--Adam Grant,

a good, hard look at ourselves."

most so ingrained as to be almost invisible, all worthy of
