The Logic of Failure

The Logic of Failure explains how people often misjudge situations, especially under pressure, by relying on familiar habits or past experiences. When faced with complex problems, individuals tend to focus on immediate, visible issues rather than understanding the deeper causes. This can lead to repeated mistakes, as they apply solutions that worked before but aren’t suitable for the new context. Recognizing this pattern helps in developing better decision-making by encouraging reflection, understanding the real problem, and avoiding rushed judgments based on instinct or incomplete information.
