Sinopse

Famous Wrong Predictions explores the captivating history of forecasting failures, revealing how even experts can be spectacularly wrong about the future. It delves into cognitive biases and flawed reasoning that lead to prediction errors, demonstrating how over-reliance on existing data and limited imagination can derail even the most informed forecasts. For example, the book examines why major innovations were often dismissed, despite their transformative potential.

 
The book uniquely blends historical analysis with insights from cognitive science and behavioral economics, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on why predictions fail. Structured in three parts, it begins by introducing core concepts of prediction, then presents instructive case studies spanning technology, economics, and social trends, and concludes by analyzing the underlying causes of these failures, providing lessons for better decision-making.

 
Readers will gain valuable insights into the limitations of human foresight and learn to critically assess future possibilities.

    Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
    Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
     In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
    Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.

    Welcome to Thomas Cromwell: England's Mastermind, an introduction into one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of Tudor England. Over the course of this series, we’ll explore Cromwell’s journey from a blacksmith’s son in Putney to the heights of power as King Henry VIII’s chief minister. Cromwell’s story is one of ambition, ingenuity, and risk—qualities that reshaped the English church, monarchy, and society in ways that still resonate today. 
    Cromwell was not a nobleman by birth, but his keen intellect and strategic thinking brought him to the center of the Tudor court, a place where ambition could be both a blessing and a curse. He helped Henry VIII break from Rome, orchestrated the dissolution of the monasteries, and navigated the dangerous waters of court politics. Yet, for all his successes, Cromwell’s rise came at a cost: he made powerful enemies, took extraordinary risks, and ultimately faced a dramatic fall from grace.

As a public figure, he has found himself the unwitting recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy.--"That Andrew Gold is a truly edgy journalist, broadcaster and now writer is - but should not be - one of our culture’s best kept secrets" - David Baddiel, bestselling author of The God Desire
