Summary:
Insights-like Darwin’s knowledge of the way advancement really works, and Watson and Crick’s breakthrough discoveries about the framework of DNA-can transformation the world. We also need insights in to the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us in order that we can more effectively solve complications and get stuff done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed-or what blocks them. In Viewing What Others Don’t, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery..Read More on the subject of Viewing What Others Don’t Klein is an enthusiastic observer of people in their organic settings-scientists, businesspeople, firefighters, police officers, soldiers, family, friends, himself-and uses a marvelous variety of tales to illuminate his study into what insights are and exactly how they happen. What, for example, allowed Harry Markopolos to put the finger on Bernie Madoff? How do Dr. Michael Gottlieb make the contacts between different individuals that allowed him to create the initial announcement from the Helps epidemic? What do Admiral Yamamoto find (and what did the Us citizens miss) inside a 1940 United kingdom attack in the Italian fleet that allowed him to build up the strategy of attack at Pearl Harbor? How do a “smokejumper” see that placing another fire would save his life, while those who ignored his insight perished? How do Martin Chalfie think of a million-dollar idea (and a Nobel Prize) for a natural flashlight that enabled researchers to look inside living microorganisms to watch biological processes in action? Klein also dissects impediments to understanding, such as for example when organizations state to value employee creativity also to encourage breakthroughs but in fact block disruptive tips and prioritize avoidance of mistakes. Or when information technology systems are “dumb by style” and block potential discoveries. Both clinically sophisticated and fun to hear, Seeing What Others Don’t demonstrates insight is not just a “eureka!” instant but a complete new way of understanding.
