Plenty of books offer useful advice on how to get better at making
quick-thinking, intuitive choices. But what about more
consequential decisions, the ones that affect our lives for years,
or centuries, to come? Our most powerful stories revolve around
these kinds of decisions: where to live, whom to marry, what to
believe, whether to start a company, how to end a war. Full of the
beautifully crafted storytelling and novel insights that Steven
Johnson's fans know to expect, Farsighted draws lessons from
cognitive science, social psychology, military strategy,
environmental planning, and great works of literature. Everyone
thinks we are living in an age of short attention spans, but we've
actually learned a lot about making long-term decisions over the
past few decades. Johnson makes a compelling case for a smarter and
more deliberative decision-making approach. He argues that we
choose better when we break out of the myopia of single-scale
thinking and develop methods for considering all the factors
involved. There's no one-size-fits-all model for the important
decisions that can alter the course of a life, an organization, or
a civilization. But Farsighted explains how we can approach these
choices more effectively, and how we can appreciate the subtle
intelligence of choices that shaped our broader social history.
