This is a book about strategic thinking in difficult situations, why it often comes out that "we wanted the best, but it turned out as always," about our human shortsightedness and our cognitive mistakes. And where is the way out? How can a person avoid failures in planning and decision-making? How will he learn to think systematically? D. Dörner answers these questions in his book "The Logic of Failure." The work is well structured, supplemented by diagrams, graphs, drawings - in general, it is done conscientiously.
