The Intelligence Trap explores cutting-edge ideas in our understanding of intelligence and expertise, including "motivated reasoning," "meta-forgetfulness," and "functional stupidity." David Robson reveals the surprising ways that even the brightest minds and most talented organizations can go wrong?from some of Thomas Edison's worst ideas to failures at NASA--while offering practical advice to avoid mistakes based on the timeless lessons of Benjamin Franklin, Richard Feynman, and Daniel Kahneman.
