Product Information
We all make bad decisions. It's part of being human. The resulting mistakes can be valuable, the story goes, because we learn from them. But do we? Historian Zachary Shore says no, not always, and he has a long list of examples to prove his point. From colonialism to globalization, from gender wars to civil wars, or any circumstance for which our best solutions backfire, Shore demonstrates how rigid thinking can subtly lead us to undermine ourselves. In the process, he identifies seven cognition traps to avoid. These insidious yet unavoidable mind-sets include: -Exposure Anxiety: fear of being seen as weak -Causefusion: confusing the causes of complex events -Flat View: seeing the world in one dimension -Cure-Allism: thinking that one-size solutions can solve all problems -Infomania: an obsessive relationship to information -Mirror Imaging: thinking the other side thinks like you do -Static Cling: the refusal to accept that circumstances have changed Drawing on examples from history, politics, business and economics, health care, even folk tales and popular culture, Shore illustrates the profound impact blunders can have. But he also emphasizes how understanding these seven simple cognition traps can help us all make wiser judgments in our daily lives. For anyone whose best-laid plans have been foiled by faulty thinking, Blunder shines the penetrating spotlight of history on decision making and the patterns of thought that can lead us all astray.

Reviews
Though most of us often make irrational choices, Zachary Shore shows that history can teach us much about our judgment. Blunder is a clever, engaging, and thought-provoking book that can help us better understand irrationality and wisdom., "Blunderis a shrewd, smart book, full of entertaining stories and wise insights. Drawing his examples from history, literature, and current events, Zachary Shore shows how smart, well-meaning people are often trapped into making the wrong decisions. Every policy-maker should have a copy ofBlundernear at hand."-James Sheehan, Dickason Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University, authorWhere Have All the Soldiers Gone?"Zachary Shore realized earlier than most the potentially huge importance of the religious revival among young Muslims in Europe. The interviews and other evidence in his scrupulously researched and lucidly written book constitute powerful evidence of a disturbing trend." -Niall Ferguson, Harvard"A superb, scholarly and fascinating study of decision-making in Nazi foreign policy between 1933 and 1939." -StanleyHoffmann, Harvard"The frightening yet fascinating story of the inner workings of Nazi Germany's diplomatic corps during the years leading up to World War II. Shore...presents a graphic picture of Hitler's Reich that heretofore has been largely ignored." -Library Journal , " Blunder is a shrewd, smart book, full of entertaining stories and wise insights.

"Engaging…[Shore] teases out the cause and effect of seven [cognition] traps (from 'infomania' to 'exposure anxiety') with witty stories of famous blunders…Beyond shining a light on our propensity to apply an old solution to a new situation, Shore's goal is to teach the basis of good judgment. Like all good historians he's hoping we can avoid making the same mistake twice." - O magazine "Zachary Shore explains why smart people Blunder into bad decisions." -- Vanity Fair "Well-chosen case studies, all of which lead to a resounding climax…Eye-opening." -Kirkus "Shore explains why smart people do dumb things in [Blunder]… clever wordplay, neat categories and accessible examples." -Publishers Weekly "Blunder is a book that will make you think about how you think. With the deft touch of a master storyteller, Zachary Shore ranges across the centuries and around the world in this eye-opening account of how our minds so often fall into cognition traps.
