Good Books: Dietrich Doerner's The Logic of Failure is a must-read book. We all know that people who are in power make stupid mistakes + Dietrich Dorner explains why they do so from psychological experiments + computer simulations with role-playing volunteers. Dorner, director of the Cognitive Anthropology Project at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, believes that guided role-playing can help people understand what they're doing wrong and get better at making decisions. Writes Dorner: 'Anyone who thinks play is nothing but play and dead earnest nothing but dead earnest hasn't understood either one.'
