Sinossi

Predicting the Future explores the science, economics, and psychology of forecasting, providing a comprehensive guide to anticipating trends and improving decision-making. The book emphasizes understanding core forecasting techniques, recognizing cognitive biases, and leveraging data analysis to create more accurate predictive models.

 
It argues that while perfect prediction is impossible, informed forecasting can significantly improve our ability to anticipate likely outcomes, bridging the gap between deterministic thinking and probabilistic outcomes. For example, understanding common biases, such as confirmation bias, can help refine our predictions.

 
The book uniquely connects psychology, economics, and statistics to provide a holistic understanding of forecasting. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts and techniques, then examines psychological factors that skew predictions, and finally focuses on practical applications and ethical implications.

 
Real-world case studies and implementable strategies illustrate how forecasting can be applied across diverse contexts, offering readers tools to navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

Pandemic Panic - How Canadian...

Joanna Baron, Christine Van Geyn

In October 2022, the economist Emily Oster wrote a plea for a “pandemic amnesty.” After detailing various ill-conceived public health policies throughout the pandemic, Oster concluded that “The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well.” She reasoned that many admittedly poor, public health decisions were made in an information vacuum and that the salubrious thing to do going forward would be to forgive and forget.
		 
Oster was concerned about the fraying social fabric because of polarizing online discourse and urged the need to move forward. However, our anecdotal experience has shown a second common response to pandemic mishaps—going blank entirely on what occurred during the pandemic. We have observed a phenomenon of the surreal, sometimes inane, often unprecedented and unusual public health measures taken over the roughly three-year pandemic period being a “memory hole,” where the mind completely fogs over. Many times in the course of writing this book, we have messaged one another upon unearthing one public policy absurdity upon another: the City of Toronto taping off cherry blossoms, Quebec requiring unvaccinated people to be chaperoned in plexiglass carts through the essential aisles of big-box stores.
		 
We are not psychologists, but no doubt there is an evolutionary benefit to allowing a collective trauma to dissolve into the slip-stream: it is unproductive to dwell on how we got by and how our government coped in real-time. Our memories are warped, first, by the “primacy effect” our tendency to remember “firsts” exemplified by people universally naming George Washington when asked to recall former U.S. presidents. Most people have a crystal clear memory of the moment their plague year started in earnest; for us and many others; it was March 11, 2020, the day the NBA suspended games for the rest of the season.

Don't Be Yourself - Why...

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

For years, we've been told that authenticity is the key to success—that we should be true to ourselves, tune out others' opinions, and lead with unwavering genuineness. This feel-good message has spawned countless self-help books, leadership seminars, and viral social media posts. 
 
There's just one problem: science says it's wrong. Drawing on decades of research, renowned psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic reveals an uncomfortable truth: our obsession with authenticity is backfiring. From Silicon Valley's authenticity worship to failed diversity programs, he exposes how our fixation on our "true selves" undermines both individual and organizational success. 
 
The most successful people aren't those who rigidly "stay true to themselves." They're the ones who adapt and evolve, largely by paying a great deal of attention to how others see them and adjusting their behavior to the requirements of each situation. The evidence is clear: when we focus less on expressing our authentic selves and more on understanding others, we become better humans. Blending the latest revelations in psychology with razor-sharp cultural critique, Don't Be Yourself doesn't just challenge conventional wisdom—it offers a playbook for long-lasting career success.
