I really enjoyed the book "The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis, which is basically about how "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (by Daniel Kahneman) came to be written. I've read both and Lewis' book is much more disgestible than Kahneman's, and they both do great explorations of how people think, and how human thought processes break down.Most humans are wrong as much as they are right, intelligent or not (which is not even an original thought of my own). I think this phenomenon is amplified for many flag officers, who have been emboldened by prior success in a promotion system that is effectively an echo chamber. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
