Sinossi

"Failed Predictions" explores why forecasts so often miss the mark by examining historical miscalculations across technology and economics. The book highlights how cognitive biases and flawed methodologies lead to forecasting failures, even among experts. It reveals that even sophisticated predictive models falter due to unforeseen events and incomplete data, compounded by recurring human errors like overconfidence and groupthink. Understanding these errors is vital for better decision-making.

 
The book traces the evolution of forecasting from ancient times to modern econometrics, revealing consistent challenges. Case studies from technology, economics, and geopolitics illustrate how predictions fail, such as underestimating technological disruptions or misjudging economic trends. By dissecting these failures, the book provides practical guidance for improving forecasting practices and developing more adaptable strategies for navigating future uncertainties.

 
The book is structured into three parts: introducing core concepts and biases, presenting case studies, and synthesizing lessons learned. By focusing on common threads in forecasting errors, "Failed Predictions" offers a unique perspective valuable to general readers, professionals in finance and technology, and policymakers seeking to make better decisions in an uncertain world.

With punch and panache, Bob Mayer shows you how to make the grade, revealing powerful negotiating tools drawn from a unique blend of sources, including:  • Recent advances in psychology, linguistics, trial advocacy, sales, and management communications—the cutting edge of the art of performance.  • Tips, tricks, and techniques from 200 of the world’s masters—the legendary street and bazaar merchants of Bombay, Istanbul, Cairo, and Shanghai.  • Mayer’s own "been there, done that" years as a lawyer representing thousands of clients (from foreign government agencies and mega-corporations to some of the world’s best-known actors, authors, and athletes), negotiating deals on everything from amphitheaters to Zero aircraft.  You’ll learn what works—and what doesn’t—when you’re up against a stone wall…or your ideas are being rejected…or you’re confronted with hostility and anger. Included is the highly acclaimed Deal Maker’s Playbook, a collection of step-by-step "how-to’s" and "what-to’s" for 38 common negotiating situations, such as, buying a car, leasing an apartment, dealing with the IRS, interviewing for a job, buying a franchise, and getting out of debt.  It’s all here—the fancy footwork and magic moves for outgunning, outmaneuvering, and out-negotiating the other person. And the techniques for developing life skills that will dramatically enhance your chances of professional success and personal satisfaction.

    Discover the Future of Data 
    We live in a world overflowing with information. Every second, new data is created from our phones, computers, cars, and even household appliances. But the old tools we use to understand this data are falling behind. Quantum Analytics takes you on a journey into a new way of thinking, where strange but powerful ideas from quantum theory help us see patterns, make smarter choices, and understand complex problems. 
    From Classical to Quantum Thinking 
    Classical analytics depends on clear, simple answers. But the world isn’t simple anymore. Quantum ideas such as superposition, entanglement, and uncertainty allow us to hold many possibilities at once, see hidden connections, and even understand how our focus can change outcomes. Instead of being limited to straight-line logic, we learn to explore data as a living, changing web of information. 
    Tools for Real-World Challenges 
    This audiobook shows how quantum thinking can solve problems in business, science, medicine, and daily life. From managing traffic in busy cities to protecting personal privacy with quantum encryption, from modeling the spread of disease to building smarter machine learning systems, the applications are endless. Quantum analytics is not just about new machines. It is about a new mindset that helps us work with uncertainty instead of fearing it. 
    Why This Book Matters 
    You do not need to be a scientist to understand or use these ideas. Quantum Analytics makes complex ideas simple and clear, inviting you to see the world in new ways. You will discover how quantum theory reshapes decision-making, security, and even creativity. This audiobook is about more than data. It is about thinking differently, asking deeper questions, and opening doors to possibilities that classical methods miss. 
    Take this journey into the heart of quantum thinking and see how it can transform the way you understand information, make choices, and imagine the future.
