Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment By Daniel Kahneman

Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment

By Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein

Noise is a groundbreaking book by Daniel Kahneman (author of Thinking, Fast and Slow), Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein. It explores the hidden inconsistencies in human decision-making, known as "noise"—random variability in judgments that should be identical. The book explains why even experienced professionals—judges, doctors, recruiters, and executives—often make inconsistent decisions and how we can reduce these errors.

Why Noise is a Must-Read

Understanding Decision-Making Flaws – Learn how "noise" differs from bias and why it leads to costly mistakes in professional and personal life.

Scientific Insights and Real-World Examples – The book is filled with case studies, experiments, and research showing how noise affects judgments in business, law, medicine, and more.

Practical Solutions to Reduce Noise – The authors provide tools and strategies to improve decision-making through structured processes like decision hygiene and algorithmic thinking.

Memorable Quotes from Noise

"Wherever there is judgment, there is noise—and more of it than you think."

"Reducing noise does not mean eliminating variation—it means eliminating unnecessary error."

"Bias is the systematic error, noise is the unpredictable error, but both are costly."
