Summary

In Risk Intelligence, Dylan Evans outlines a powerful form of thinking; one where the same decision making and intuition seen in the best poker players can be effectively transferred to business, politics and everyday life.

Risk Intelligence Summary

Risk Intelligence: How to Live with Uncertainty by Dylan Evans

There is a special kind of intelligence for dealing with risk and uncertainty. It doesn't correlate with IQ and most psychologists fail to spot it because it is found in such a disparate, rag-tag group of people such as weather-forecasters, professional gamblers and hedge-fund managers. This book shows just how important risk intelligence is. Many people in positions which require high risk intelligence - doctors, financial regulators and bankers - seem unable to navigate doubt and uncertainty. Risk Intelligence is a traveller's guide to the twilight zone of probabilities and speculation. Dylan Evans shows us how risk intelligence is vital to making good decisions, from dealing with climate change to combating terrorism. He argues that we can all learn a lot from expert gamblers, not just about money, but about how to make decisions in all aspects of our lives.

Risk Intelligence Reviews

Risk Intelligence is a manifesto for a new approach to knowledge and uncertainty. It will change the way you think. * Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia *
Risk Intelligence is really a great contribution for dealing with the biggest challenge we have in an interconnected world: complexity, velocity and uncertainty. * Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum *
Fascinating... Readers of this valuable manual will be better able to 'gauge the limits of [their] own knowledge' and increase their ability to make fact-based decisions. * Publishers Weekly, Starred Review *
