Fortunately, we can override our minds default systemsthat is, we can counter our intuitionby learning to think twice.

In this compelling audio book, Mauboussin outlines a disciplined approach to decision making that will significantly reduce costly mistakes. It involves preparing to encounter common mental traps, recognizing these mistakes in context, and applying the right mental tools to shape better decisions. With practice, youll begin to catch poor decision makingboth yours and othersas it unfolds in front of you.

Through vivid stories from business, sports, science, and everyday life, Mauboussin categorizes common mental mistakes and offers actionable advice for avoiding them, including:

The Inside/Outside View: Take the experiences of others into account

Tunnel Vision: Force yourself to consider alternatives that make you uncomfortable

The Whole Is Smarter Than Its Parts: Dont oversimplify complex problems

Situational Power: Be highly aware of the influence others have on you

The Expert Squeeze: Know when to trust so-called experts, and when not to

Title: Candide

Author: Voltaire

Narrator: Don Hagen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:43:18

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-10

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Candide, is a French satire written in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. One of the finest satires ever written, this lively tale follows the absurdly melodramatic adventures of the youthful Candide, who is forced into the army, flogged, shipwrecked, betrayed, robbed, separated from his beloved Cunégonde, and tortured by the Inquisition. As Candide witnesses calamity, upon calamity, he becomes disillusioned and discovers that all is not always for the best.

Candide is characterized by its sarcastic tone, dark humor and erratic, fantastical, fast-moving plot. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers and romance.

Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. It was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. Voltaire never admitted to having written the highly controversial Candide; instead, the work is signed Mister Doctor Ralph.
