Sinossi

The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and all but one by hanging. This two-volume edition gives an account of Salem village and a history of opinions on witchcraft and kindred subjects. The first volume of this book contains what seems to be necessary to prepare the reader for the second, in which the incidents and circumstances connected with the witchcraft prosecutions in 1692, at the village and in the town of Salem, are reduced to chronological order, and exhibited in detail. Contents:   Map and Illustrations  Index to the Map  Town of Salem Grants Farms Salem Village  Witchcraft  Witchcraft at Salem Village  Prefatory Address Deodat Lawson's Narrative Letter From R.P. To Jonathan Corwin Extracts From Mr. Parris's Church Records

    “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
    Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
    In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
    “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
    We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
    The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
    Going for the Moonshot 
    Surrendering to FOMO 
    Relying on Family and Friends 
    Being Blinded by the Upside 
    Trusting the Media 
    Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
    Neglecting to Measure Twice 
    There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
    The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
    We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.
