À propos de cet audio
An eye-opening examination of the stupid things smart people do - and how to cultivate skills to protect ourselves from error.
"As a rule, I have found that the greater brain a man has, and the better he is educated, the easier it has been to mystify him" (Harry Houdini to Arthur Conan Doyle).
Smart people are not only just as prone to making mistakes as everyone else - they may be even more susceptible to them. This is the "intelligence trap", the subject of David Robson's fascinating and provocative book.
The Intelligence Trap explores cutting-edge ideas in our understanding of intelligence and expertise, including "strategic ignorance", "meta-forgetfulness", and "functional stupidity." Robson reveals the surprising ways that even the brightest minds and most talented organizations can go wrong - from some of Thomas Edison's worst ideas to failures at NASA, Nokia, and the FBI. And he offers practical advice to avoid mistakes based on the timeless lessons of Benjamin Franklin, Richard Feynman, and Daniel Kahneman.

Histoire
On the night of January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler leaned out of a spotlit window of the Reich chancellery in Berlin, bursting with joy. The moment seemed unbelievable, even to Hitler. After an improbable political journey that came close to faltering on many occasions, his march to power had finally succeeded. While the path of Hitler's rise has been told in books covering larger portions of his life, no previous work has focused solely on his eight-year climb to rule: 1925-1933.

Histoire
Amid the ravages of economic depression, Germans in the early 1930s were pulled to political extremes both left and right. Then, in the spring of 1933, Germany turned itself inside out, from a deeply divided republic into a one-party dictatorship. In Hitler's First Hundred Days, award-winning historian Peter Fritzsche offers a probing account of the pivotal moments when the majority of Germans seemed, all at once, to join the Nazis to construct the Third Reich.

Histoire
The British Empire was the largest in all history: the nearest thing to global domination ever achieved. The world we know today is in large measure the product of Britain's age of empire. The global spread of capitalism, telecommunications, the English language, and the institutions of representative government - all these can be traced back to the extraordinary expansion of Britain's economy, population, and culture from the 17th century until the mid-20th. On a vast and vividly colored canvas, Empire shows how the British Empire acted as midwife to modernity.

There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

In the summer of 1941, Hitler ruled Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Britain was struggling to combat his powerful propaganda machine, crowing victory and smearing his enemies as liars and manipulators over his frequent radio speeches, blasted out on loudspeakers and into homes. British claims that Hitler was dangerous had little impact against this wave of disinformation. Except for the broadcasts of someone called Der Chef, a German who questioned Nazi doctrine, and most importantly, a character created by the British propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer, a unique weapon in the war.

Lululemon’s exponential growth, culture, and brand strength have few peers, and it is because of those employees who choose to be great. This book is also about missed opportunity - five years of missed opportunity. Chip was playing to win while the directors of the company he founded were playing not to lose.

Mindfulness is not about complicated and otherworldly woo-woo spiritual practices. It doesn't require you to be a part of any religion or a movement. What mindfulness is about is living a good life (that's quite practical, right?), and this book is all about deepening your awareness, getting to know yourself, and developing attitudes and mental habits that will make you not only a successful and effective person in life, but a happy and wise one as well.

Informative, clear and entertaining
I enjoyed this audiobook. It's an excellent and well-researched overview of the various cognitive biases, emotional pitfalls (some of them could almost be called "old sins", such as pride and anger) and other blind spots intelligent people may be prone to, and which may lead them to making questionable decisions or stupid mistakes. Didn't feel that there was anything new under the sun though. Besides, if the "wildfires of stupidity" (authors analogy) that are continually lighting up and spreading over the internet teach us anything, it's that people who would not generally quality as "intelligent" (intellectually or emotionally) also feel proud of their "knowledge" and are willing to go to great lengths to bring the rest of the world down to their viewpoint. If history counts for something, then "stupid pride" usually leads to far greater tragedies than a plane crash or even an oil spill, as sad and damaging these events are. Please refer to the first 50 years of the 20th century for details.
This book got me thinking about my own biases and assumptions and, for that, I found it challenging in the most positive way. The research presented opens the door to discovering even more biases and cultural assumptions, which we have become so used to that we don't see them anymore. They are our blind spots. For example: I totally understand the need for critical thinking. However, having spent my life working within teams and in a collective environment, I would add that timing is everything. The onset of a project or initiative is the right time to raise issues and possible problems to be solved. But once the group gets moving, my own experience is that continually raising issues can become a project risk, and is often a symptom of lack of self-confidence or of a desire to "express one's pride in being self-assertive".
Not seeing the difficult and TENSE interplay between the need to know as much as possible and the need to act efficiently seems to be a typical blind spot of many intellectuals, especially professional writers. Let's call it the "intellectual-contemplative" bias, which could be characterized as the "belief that the world is something that can be solved through reasoning". As far as I'm concerned, practical experience shows that some decisions can be reflected upon, while others require speed, swiftness and, therefore, rely on the "jam-packed knowledge and experience" we call "intuition". I would add we may be wired to transform slow thinking into fast thinking, and that this process is at the very heart of our "existential requirements" as individual and as a species. But one can work hard on building a resilient and open intuition.
If you're looking for a book that will challenge you, make you think and open doors for future self-improvement, you'll love this one. If you can live with a British accent, you'll enjoy the narration as well.

Could have been much shorter
While the main concept (which follows many other books) is important, the book is full of unnecessary repetitions and elaborations which make it less interesting without adding much. It could have been a quarter or a third of now without losing much. Some chapters clearly don’t have much to offer.
