Summary of Wesley R. Gray

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first part of the book addresses the notion that expert opinion is not always reliable. It argues that experts are, in fact, subject to the same biases and behavioral flaws that plague all human beings.

If a person has reached the pinnacle of success, they have almost certainly reached the pinnacle of expertise. #4 Unfortunately, relying on experts causes a lot of problems. When it comes to making important decisions, why do we always rely on experts.
