3 Important Ideas from 3 of 2018's Best Books

There are several common themes running across these 3 fantastic books. I think they represent an important pivot in (a) the way we human beings understand ourselves and (b) how communities, organisations and nations can be better governed/ organised.  I would summarise this grandiose claim into 3 central ideas:

1. We are not as rational as we like to think we are
2. The world continues to develop and improve despite our negative intuitions about progress
3. There are steps we can take to improve our decision-making and build bridges in our polarised society

​
I also love how these books all lead with the data and use simple, highly effective visualisations to powerfully illustrate their ideas.

I highly recommend these books to anyone.  If you have any thoughts you’d like to share or if you have any related recommendations for me then please get in touch.
