Everything we know about solving the world’s problems is wrong. Out: Plans, experts and above all, leaders. In: Adapting - improvise rather than plan; fail, learn, and try again. In this groundbreaking new book, Tim Harford shows how the world’s most complex and important problems - including terrorism, climate change, poverty, innovation, and the financial crisis - can only be solved from the bottom up by rapid experimenting and adapting.

Aged but still very insightful
Revisado: 08-08-22
This book is great for anyone who enjoys the Cautionary Tales podcast. If expands on a lot of stories touched upon there (and I presume a lot that will be featured in future episodes). The thesis is presented clearly and the stories that support it are very interesting. Narrated well, this book is excellent for walks.
The author draws on examples from nature, experiments, disaster stories and complicated social and business issues to demonstrate how flexibility, experimentation and unexpected strategies can lead to good outcomes. Conversely lack of them can lead to bad ones.
My only criticism (if it can be called that) is that time has unfortunately made some of the statistics and stories a bit dated (particularly ones related to climate change and strategies of dealing with it). But this is a very small caveat for an otherwise insightful read.

When he stepped down in January 2017 as the fourth US Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper had been President Obama's senior intelligence advisor for six and a half years, longer than his three predecessors combined. He led the US Intelligence Community through a period that included the raid on Osama bin Laden, the Benghazi attack, the leaks of Edward Snowden, and Russia's influence operation on the 2016 US election.

Interesting memoir
Revisado: 02-19-19
I believe that this is an excellent title. It is very well written and keeps your attention. I was interested to hear what the life of an intelligence professional was like, and I got this sort of glimpse into it. Additionally, the performance of this title is also excellent and pleasant to listen to.

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

A Classic Excellently Narrated
Revisado: 01-25-19
The merits of this book are world famous by now. The narration is of a very high standard, therefore making this book not only insightful but also very pleasant to listen to. Highly recommended.
