Seeing What Others Don't

Insights? Darwin's understanding of the way evolution actually works, Watson and Crick's breakthrough about DNA?can change the world. But we also need insights into the things that frustrate and confuse us, so that we can become more effective at getting things done. Yet, we know very little about how insights are formed and what blocks them. Gary Klein, a leading psychologist and decision-making expert, unravels the mystery in a book that is at once sophisticated and fun to read.Gary Klein is a keen observer of people in their natural settings?scientists, business-people, firefighters, police officers, soldiers, family members, friends, himself?and uses a marvelous variety of stories to illuminate his research. Readers will discover that insight is not just an ?a-ha” moment or flash of illumination, but a new way of understanding that occurs under certain psychological and environmental conditions.

Intriguing findings that should play a transformative role, not only in the field of psychology, but also in corporate boardrooms. - KIRKUS REVIEWS
