  How can we avoid worst-case scenarios? 
  From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Black Mirror, we are all familiar with the tropes of dystopian science fiction. But what if worst-case scenarios could actually become reality? And what if we could do something now to put the world on a better path? 
  In Avoiding the Worst, Tobias Baumann lays out the concept of risks of future suffering (s-risks). With a focus on s-risks that are both realistic and avoidable, he argues that we have strong reasons to consider their reduction a top priority. Finally, he turns to the question of what we can do to help steer the world away from s-risks and towards a brighter future.

  Stanislaus and Cecylia Witkowski were born and grew up in Poland in the early twenties, at a time of relative peace in that troubled country's history. They met, fell in love, and planned to spend the rest of their lives together. Fate stepped in when Poland was invaded by both Germany and Russia in September, 1939. Like so many, the young lovers were parted and the course of their lives changed forever. 
  True love sees hope in the bleakest of situations, recognises no boundaries and surmounts the insurmountable. Stan and Cecylia's story is played out against the background of the events of the war in Europe and, later, in Australia, as immigrants with no knowledge of the language nor the customs of their adopted country. Despite extreme difficulties and sometimes seemingly impossible odds, Stan and Cecylia remained firm in their resolve to stay together.

  Flawed Predictions and Planning...

  This book contains the following two titles: 
  - The Planning Fallacy: The allure of optimism has been a driving force behind humanity’s greatest achievements. It propels innovation, inspires ambition, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. Yet, this same optimism can lead us astray, particularly when it comes to planning and executing tasks. The belief that everything will unfold as envisioned, without significant setbacks or challenges, is an enticing illusion. This overconfidence, while comforting, often masks the reality of time and resource constraints, resulting in a phenomenon known as the planning fallacy. 
    
  - The Representativeness Heuristic: The representativeness heuristic is one of the most influential concepts in cognitive psychology, profoundly shaping the way individuals make judgments and decisions. First introduced by psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, this heuristic explains how people often assess probabilities and likelihoods based on how closely an event or object resembles a prototype or existing mental model. While this cognitive shortcut can be useful in navigating a complex world, it also introduces biases that distort reasoning and lead to systematic errors.
