   Penguin Random House (361) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  lemontwist | May 22, 2022 |   Thank you to Penguin/Random House for the free copy for review. It was delicious. (  ) fionaanne | Nov 11, 2021 | We have become a world where it's not okay to point out when something isn't working. Mistakes, though often hailed as learning moments, are viewed as failures and punished as such. This is an important book that everyone in the public and private sector should read. ( ) TobinElliott | Sep 3, 2021 | I liked the positive approach to solving complex problems in this book and the fact that it was not limited to the big sort of complex systems — the solutions in this book can apply to that complex system known as “a family with a large number of people in it”. The book is clear, accessible, and compulsive reading. I’d recommend it if you read and enjoyed Careful, by Steve Casner, or if you find accident investigations interesting. (  ) rabbitprincess | Jun 29, 2018 | I won this book in a giveaway that ended on January 20th. I have never received my copy. *Edited to add: I received my copy of this book on April 2nd. Review to follow when I reach the book o my TBR list.  Melissalovesreading | Sep 30, 2018 | Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
"Weaving together cutting-edge social science with riveting stories that take us from the frontlines of the Volkswagen scandal to backstage at the Oscars, and from deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico to the top of Mount Everest, Chris Clearfield and András Tilcsik explain how the increasing complexity of our systems creates conditions ripe for failure and why our brains and teams can't keep up. They highlight the paradox of progress: Though modern systems have given us new capabilities, they've become vulnerable to surprising meltdowns--and even to corruption and misconduct. But Meltdown isn't just about failure; it's about solutions--whether you're managing a team or the chaos of your family's morning routine. It reveals why ugly designs make us safer, how a five-minute exercise can prevent billion-dollar catastrophes, why teams with fewer experts are better at managing risk, and why diversity is one of our best safeguards against failure. The result is an eye-opening, empowering, and entirely original book--one that will change the way you see our complex world and your own place in it."--Jacket flap.

The book is interesting, but it totally lost me when it started using sociology research and fMRI studies as the basis for exploring what can be done to help prevent systems failures. My eyes rolled nearly out of my head. That isn't to say that the author probably isn't correct -- diversity, outside perspectives, all of these things are important. But a study that looks at how people eat cookies after a meeting, that's not convincing to me, and it doesn't make me think that the author's answer is scientific at all. (
