Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed | One Minute Book Review
Tuesday, 3 November, 2020
What’s your relationship with failure like? Do you accept it as part of the process of progression or does it debilitate you? This a question many of us ask ourselves when we inevitably encounter failure. We either use it as a learning opportunity or we become entrenched in our ways of thinking blaming everyone else for the failure. 🤷♂️ This book examines many different concepts, such as cognitive dissonance, defining failure and achieving small steps over giant leaps. It’s one of the rare books that I read that leaves me questioning many different elements not only of myself but of society as a whole. How can we all take more responsibility for the role that we have in society and apply these principles to create a better society? I do believe it is by constantly seeking the correct ways of improvement as this book suggests on multiple occasions. But it is also changing the stigma behind failure. Not as a badge of negative connotation, but instead of honour knowing that the same mistake can be prevented in the future. 📚 Another great book that I have read that I recommend. It seems every book I am reading at the moment is 💯. Appreciate @matthewsyedauthor for writing this, I look forward to reading your other work as well. 👍📚 Have you read this? If so, what were your thoughts? 📚
