Wilful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril by Margaret Heffernan
4.0
Wilful Blindness is a fascinating examination of our tendency to selective vision and the risks we run by ignoring problems in plain sight. It explores how our natural attraction to like-minded people leads to blinkered thoughts and actions.
I can't speak too highly of this book. It's a game-changer in teaching the importance of dissent and critical thinking.
If your staff all look like you, you're missing out. Diverse backgrounds mean tackling problems in different ways. Healthy debate leads to better decisions.
From Enron to Hillsborough, institutional racism to medical malpractice, Margaret Heffernan's book is an eye-opener to the problems that our assumptions and prejudices cause us. And it's a must-read for workaholics who scorn sleep!
