"Convincing...A humbling lesson in inaccuracy."--Financial
Times
"Noise is an absolutely brilliant investigation of a massive
societal problem that has been hiding in plain sight."--Steven
Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics
"A tour de force of scholarship and clear writing."--New York
Times
"Well-researched, convincing and practical book . . . written by
the all-star team . . . The details and evidence will satisfy
rigorous and demanding readers, as will the multiple viewpoints it
offers on noise. Every academic, policymaker, leader and consultant
ought to read this book. People with the power and persistence
required to apply the insights in Noise will make more humane and
fair decisions, save lives, and prevent time, money and talent from
going to waste."--Robert Sutton, Washington Post
"The earth has been so fully explored that scientists can't
possibly discover a previously unknown mammal the size of an
elephant. The same could be said about the landscape of
decision-making, yet Kahneman, Sibony, and Sunstein have discovered
a problem as large as an elephant: noise. In this important book
they show us why noise matters, why there's so much more of it than
we realize, and how to reduce it. Implementing their advice would
give us more profitable businesses, healthier citizens, a fairer
legal system, and happier lives."--Jonathan Haidt, NYU Stern School
of Business
"The gold standard for a behavioral science book is to offer novel
insights, rigorous evidence, engaging writing, and practical
applications. It's rare for a book to cover more than two of those
bases, but Noise rounds all four--it's a home run. Get ready for
some of the world's greatest minds to help you rethink how you
evaluate people, make decisions, and solve problems."--Adam Grant,
author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
"Noise may be the most important book I've read in more than a
decade. A genuinely new idea so exceedingly important you will
immediately put it into practice. A masterpiece."--Angela
Duckworth, author of Grit
"Brilliant! Noise goes deep on an under-appreciated source of error
in human judgment: randomness. The story of noise has lacked the
charisma of the story of cognitive bias...until now. Kahneman,
Sibony, and Sunstein bring noise to life, making a compelling case
for why we should take random variation in human judgment as
seriously as we do bias and offering practical solutions for
reducing noise (and bias) in judgment."
--Annie Duke, author of Thinking in Bets
"Choices matter. Unfortunately, many of the choices people make are
fundamentally flawed by the presence of noise, the subject of this
absolutely fascinating and essential book. It is deeply researched,
thoughtful, and accessible. I began it with a sense of intrigue and
concluded it with a sense of celebration. We can make better
choices in business, politics, and our personal lives. This book
lights the way."--Rita McGrath, author of Seeing Around Corners
"Noise completes a trilogy that started with Thinking, Fast and
Slow and Nudge. Together, they highlight what all leaders need to
know to improve their own decisions, and more importantly, to
improve decisions throughout their organizations. Noise reveals a
critical lever for improving decisions, not captured in much of the
existing behavioral economics literature. I encourage you to read
Noise soon, before noise destroys more decisions in your
organization."--Max H. Bazerman, author of Better, Not Perfect
"In Noise, the authors brilliantly apply their unique and novel
insights into the flaws in human judgment to every sphere of human
endeavor: from moneyball coaches to central bankers to military
commanders to heads of state. Noise is a masterful achievement and
a landmark in the field of psychology."--Philip E. Tetlock,
coauthor of Superforecasting
"The influence of Noise should be seismic, as it explores a
fundamental yet grossly underestimated peril of human judgment.
Deepening its must-read status, it provides accessible methods for
reducing the decisional menace."--Robert Cialdini, author of
Influence and Pre-Suasion
