Superforecasting
Philip Tetlock
"Superforecasting" is a groundbreaking study on the science of predicting the future, written by Wharton professor Philip Tetlock and journalist Dan Gardner. The book draws on the results of the Good Judgment Project, a massive forecasting tournament funded by the US intelligence community. Tetlock discovered that while most "expert" pundits are no better at predicting the future than a "dart-throwing chimpanzee," there is a small group of ordinary people—dubbed "Superforecasters"—who consistently outperform intelligence analysts with access to classified information. The book reveals that these superforecasters share a specific cognitive style. They are not necessarily geniuses, but they are probabilistic thinkers who treat beliefs as testable hypotheses rather than sacred truths. They break big problems into smaller, manageable parts (Fermi-izing) and constantly update their predictions when new data arrives (Bayesian updating). Tetlock contrasts these agile thinkers ("Foxes") with rigid ideologues ("Hedgehogs") who view the world through a single big idea. "Superforecasting" serves as a practical manual for anyone looking to improve their decision-making, proving that foresight is not a mysterious gift, but a skill that can be cultivated through practice, humility, and open-mindedness.

Clear Thinking
Shane Parrish
Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results by Shane Parrish is an instant New York Times bestseller and a powerful, practical guide to how we can make better decisions and live with more intention. Parrish argues that most people think they are thinking clearly, but when real pressure hits, they react on autopilot—letting instinct, emotion, ego, and social pressures drive their choices instead of deliberate judgment. Rather than treating thinking as something that just happens, Clear Thinking teaches you how to recognize the moments when true thinking matters most—the space between a stimulus and your response—and how to deploy your full cognitive capacity to shape your life and career outcomes. Parrish draws on stories, mental models, and research to show how everyday choices, often unnoticed, accumulate over time and determine success more than any single big decision. The book helps you identify the hidden “defaults” in your mind that steer behavior unconsciously, and then build the habits, frameworks, and safeguards that allow clear reasoning to become your default response. With a focus on practical tools for better judgment, positioning yourself to seize opportunities, and gaining a competitive edge in work and life, Clear Thinking is a must-read manual for anyone seeking to make smarter choices and achieve more intentional results.
