Zusammenfassung
A toolkit for intelligent people to become smarter, overcoming their blind spots and maximising their potential.

The idea that smart people are prone to stupid acts is proposed as 'the intelligence trap' in this provocative debut, drawing attention to historic examples such as failures of Thomas Edison, NASA and the FBI, as well as advising on skills to protect the self from these errors.

The Intelligence Trap is ceaselessly fascinating and brilliantly written by one of our most consistently superb science writers. Its counter-intuitive argument, that intelligence is no inoculation against wrongness, explains so much about the fractious and baffling times in which we live.
