Black Box Thinking

- By Matthew Syed

This book is a new approach to high performance, a means of finding all edge in a complex and fast­changing world. It is not just about sport, but has powerful implications for business and politics, as well as parents and students, in other words, all of us. Drawing on a dizzying series of case studies and real­world examples, together with cutting­edge research on small gains, creativity and courage, Matthew Syed tells the inside story of how success really happens - and how we cannot grow unless we are prepared to learn from our mistakes.
