About this title

Synopsis

Right now, you are confidently wrong about something that matters. And you cannot see it.

That's not an insult. It's the one thing every human mind has in common.

We question politicians, experts, and strangers on the internet. We rarely question the lens we use to look at them. We spot other people's blind spots instantly — and stay perfectly blind to our own.

The Blind Spot is about the most dangerous kind of mistake: not ignorance, which can be corrected, but the error you don't know you're making. The false belief you'd defend. The decision future-you will find embarrassing. The truth standing right in front of you, invisible only to you.

Drawing on cognitive science, decision-making, and hard-won self-honesty, this book explores why intelligent, experienced, thoughtful people still misjudge themselves and the world — and what to do about it.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why confidence is not competence — and how we keep confusing the two
• The uncomfortable questions that expose what you've been avoiding
• How smart people quietly talk themselves into bad decisions
• What experts see that beginners miss
• How to think against yourself — and become genuinely harder to fool

It also includes 50 questions to ask yourself every year, a library of mental models worth knowing, and a personal blind-spot audit you can actually put to use.

Here's the uncomfortable part: most people will read the title, assume it's about someone else, and move on. They'll keep making the same invisible mistakes — in their work, their money, their relationships — and never understand why.

The few who read it differently — who let a single sentence get personal — rarely see themselves the same way again.

Every day you wait is another day spent deciding, arguing, and trusting from inside a fog you can't detect.

This book asks one question. It's the one most people spend their entire lives avoiding:

What am I not seeing?
