Black Box Thinking
The Surprising Truth About Success
Matthew Syed
"Black Box Thinking" explores the power of a positive attitude towards failure and its impact on success in any field. Using examples from the airline industry, the book shows how failure is taken seriously to ensure mistakes are not repeated. This approach can be applied to our personal and professional lives. Syed offers a radical idea that the most important determinant of success is an acknowledgment of failure and willingness to engage with it. With gripping stories and sharp-edged science, Syed explains the intimate relationship between failure and success and how to break free from failures to unleash our potential.
