Summary
Are You Dangerously Normal?
Most of the world’s catastrophes don’t come from “mistakes.” Wars, NASA space tragedies, global economic meltdowns — they all have one thing in common.
All are caused by normal thinking.
Quicksilver shows that humanity now suffers from a learning disorder that threatens our future. As a result, leaders must develop a shape-shifting ability to continuously adjust themselves and their organizations to quicksilver conditions.
The book looks at the failed leadership behind the 2008 economic crisis, from the perspective of the fast-changing digital world, which has outpaced habits of mind. It focuses on neuroscience and cognitive psychology to propose a set of practices aimed at rising to challenges of the digital age. For more information, visit O’Brien Group.
