Product Description

Where do the best ideas come from?

And how do we apply these ideas to the problems we face
- at work, in the education of our children, & in the biggest shared challenges of our age: rising obesity, terrorism & climate change?

In this bold & inspiring new book, Matthew Syed
- the bestselling author of  Bounce and  Black Box Thinking - argues that individual intelligence is no longer enough; that the only way to tackle these complex problems is to harness the power of our 'cognitive diversity'.

Rebel Ideas is a fascinating journey through the science of team performance. It draws on psychology, economics, anthropology & genetics, & takes lessons from a dazzling range of case-studies, including the catastrophic intelligence failings of the CIA before 9/11, a communication breakdown at the top of Mount Everest, & a moving tale of deradicalization in America's deep South.
