Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed | One Minute Book Review One Minute Book Review

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. 👍📚
