Black Box Thinking: The Surprising Truth About Success

Absolutely. It's well written, captivating, full of insight and is very persuasive. Writer clearly is passionate about his theories. Well worth reading. Thought provoking.

Narrated with the right amount of enthusiasm and without monotone. Get a real sense of interest from him as it piques your own interest too.

Mainly this book made me pensive. However I do find myself using a lot of the knowledge I've gained from it as part of the way I now approach my daily life. It really has changed my outlook on things. I think it's an improvement on bounce which was itself a very interesting read.

Well worth reading more than once. Picked up many things second time round that I missed to begin with.

Lots of critical life and death real life examples. It's a very enjoyable listen and challenged my thought processes. However, I was expecting some more ideas on what approaches can be used to encourage people to learn from mistakes and how to move current thinking forward.

Really interesting concepts discussed and brought to life with real case studies. The first chapter wasn't a pleasant read, but that was just because of the nature of the story being told.

Before I had finished this book I has already ordered the author's other book, Bounce.

It's a great book, which helps to understand importance of making mistakes and learning from them.

Yes, it is one of those books you'll come back to, to remind yourself of things.

Not applicable, seriously audible, this generic form does not work. Listen to the Black Box Thinking book and then TAKE ACTION!

I've not, yet, I have just bought one though.

None of the above, don't be silly.

Stay strong during the first 9 minutes of chapter one, do, as I was, be tempted to stop listening and go back to your Archers podcast. As the campaigns says It Gets Better.<br/><br/>I am just starting chapter four and already this book has been worth the money / credit. Even if the rest of the book turned out to be Winnie the Pooh singing along to ABBA this book would have been worth it. Three chapters in and I’ve got a page of notes for both my professional and my personal life. <br/><br/>I can happily recommend this book, it’s one that I can see myself listening to repeatedly over the coming months / years. (Less than a week after buying Black Box Thinking, I’ve logged on to Audible to buy his other book Bounce.) <br/>

I loved this book and the ideology it brings forth in a very clear, simple and fast flowing way. I was hesitating before I began because of some reviews stating a slow and difficult first three chapters. I did not experiance the book like that, I got suck into the story right away. I have already changed few things in my personal way of looking at things and how to respond to "failures" both my own and those of my loved ones. It will be harder to implement at my office but I will strive to do just that though.

I do also expect to listen to the whole book again this year to freshen myself up on the whole message it brings.

This was difficult listening. At the start of chapter one I was very enthusiastic about listening to this, but after getting to chapter 4 I couldn't take any more. He droned on and on and I couldn't bare to listen to another word. This is only my opinion; Some of you may love it? Just not for me!

This book is about people, mainly men, unable for their minds to face that they are<br/>wrong and mistaken even in presence of facts and evidence, persist in rigid belief to<br/>freeze their own mental time –line The author draws<br/>out examples of public case histories and labels it cognitive dissidence,<br/>not simply a shocked ego in denial. As in the example I too became fixated on when<br/>the book was going to justify the reviews, realised that it couldn’t for me and I’ve<br/>made a mistake here and it’s not worth wasting another 3 hours of my life.<br/>It’s going back

Loved this book. Really well illustrated theory. Made me feel positive about my litany of life errors. 😊

After looking and listening to countless books to get a sense of direction - which mind you they tend to be full of jargon - i wasnt expecting this book to be in anyway good, heck i even came across it several times and rejected.. but decided to give a go and well i was suprised to say the least. I still feel it has quite a bit of examples and maybe a bit too much wording but at the end of each chapter i get what i want: <br/><br/>A concrete direction and solution to something - not just a formless cloudy idea that will make you more confused

Not sure about a particular moment but i will definetly go for the message: <br/>build from past mistakes, be open and be modest (you need to know when to quit too) - think of life as it is - like a life form and evole like one
