Book Price $0 : Winner Of The 2019 National Business Book AwardA Groundbreaking Take On How Complexity Causes Failure In All Kinds Of Modern Systems--from Social Media To Air Travel--this Practical And Entertaining Book Reveals How We Can Prevent Meltdowns In Business And Life.A Crash On The Washington, D.C. Metro System. An Accidental Overdose In A State-of-the-art Hospital. An Overcooked Holiday Meal. At First Glance, These Disasters Seem To Have Little In Common. But Surprising New Research Shows That All These Events--and The Myriad Failures That Dominate Headlines Every Day--share Similar Causes. By Understanding What Lies Behind These Failures, We Can Design Better Systems, Make Our Teams More Productive, And Transform How We Make Decisions At Work And At Home.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 Andr?s 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 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.
