Superforecasting is the intersection of range and mindset
Superforecasting is the point of intersection between the concepts in (at least) these books:
- Range – Epstein (2019) – Innovation and insight is often found in the space between many domains/skills.
- Persuadable – Pittampalli (2016) – The pursuit of truth, even at the expense of changing one’s mind.
- Mindset – Dweck (2006) – Mistakes are learning vs. Mistakes mean I’m stupid.
- Thinking, Fast and Slow – Kahneman (2013) – System 1 thinking (intuitive, immediate) is often inferior to System 2 thinking (deliberate, careful).
- The Scout Mindset – Galef (2021) – Scouts pursue the truth vs. Soldiers defend their opinions.
