Noise A Flaw in Human Judgment

Published by Arab Scientific Publishers, "Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment" by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein explores the pervasive problem of variability in professional judgment. While cognitive bias is widely studied, the authors demonstrate that "noise"—random, unwanted inconsistency in judgments that should be identical—is equally damaging. Examining sectors such as healthcare, criminal justice, performance evaluations, and insurance, the book reveals how external factors like mood or time of day drastically skew outcomes. The authors introduce practical strategies for "decision hygiene" to reduce noise and significantly improve organizational and individual choices.

It offers an indispensable framework for understanding why human decisions fail and provides practical tools to audit, reduce noise, and optimize critical judgments.
