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.

With One Hand Tied behind My Brain

Avrel Seale

Most would not expect a book about a stroke to be entertaining, but this memoir will force you to laugh through a tragedy, then cry, then laugh again.Avrel Seale was fifty, did not smoke or drink, had low blood pressure, and had hiked more than two hundred miles the year a stroke nearly ended his life. In an instant, he was teleported into the body of an old man—unbalanced, shaky, spastic, and half-paralyzed. Overnight, he was plunged into a world of brain surgeons, nurses, insurance case managers, and an abundance of therapists.Seale leads us through the harrowing day of his stroke and emergency brain surgery with minute-by-minute intensity. We then follow him through ICU, a rehab hospital, and a neuro-recovery group-living center, where we meet a memorable cast of other stroke survivors and also those recovering from auto accidents and gunshots. Finally home, Seale leads us through a new life of firsts, including returning to work, to driving, to playing guitar, to camping, and even to writing a book—all with one hand.What emerges from his humor (“elegant but devastating”) is a revealing critique of the hospital experience, the insurance industry, and rehab culture. And his nothing-off-the-table quest for recovery shows both the sobering struggles and inspiring possibilities of life after a stroke in twenty-first century America.
