520 $a"Every day we make predictions based on limited information, in business and at home. Will a company's stock performance continue? Will a job candidate be a good employee? What kind of adult will a child grow up to be? We tend to dismiss our predictive minds as prone to bias and mistakes, but in The tell, psychologist Matthew Hertenstein reveals that our intuition is surprisingly good at using small clues to make big predictions, and demonstrates how we can do it better. Drawing on rigorous research in psychology and brain science, Hertenstein shows us how to hone our powers of observation to increase our predictive capactities and, to paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, help us notice what we see."--From publisher.
