How was a brilliant physics professor tricked into carrying 2kg of
cocaine across the Argentinian border? Why do doctors misdiagnose
10 to 15% of their patients? Why do Nobel Prize winners spread fake
news? We assume that smarter people are less prone to error. But
greater education and expertise can often amplify our mistakes
while rendering us blind to our biases. This is the 'intelligence
trap'. Drawing on the latest behavioural science and historical
examples from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin, David Robson
demonstrates how to apply our intelligence more wisely; identify
bias and enhance our 'rationality quotient'; read and regulate our
emotions; fine-tune our intuition; navigate ambiguity and
uncertainty; and think more flexibly about seemingly intractable
problems. The twenty-first century presents us with complex
problems that demand a wiser way of thinking. Whether you are a
NASA scientist or a school student, The Intelligence Trap offers a
new cognitive toolkit to realise your full potential.
