Chapter 0: Introduction
Chapter 1: We Look but Don’t Always See
Summary:
In these two chapters, the author gets the reader acquainted with what the book will be about. He begins with discussing several key historical mistakes made all over the world in various professions, and by defining the term mistake. He discusses the supposedly simple action of seeing, and all the errors that can occur doing what most people do all day every day.
Discussion:
I liked the author's writing style. He is much more interesting than Stanley Milgram. I found the part about the formerly blind to be most interesting. Seeing seems such a simple task, but actually is quite difficult. I'm guessing listening will come be the same way.
