Noise: The Flaw in Human Judgement by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein (2021) examines the variability in human decision-making, identifying 'noise'—unwanted variability—as a critical flaw in judgments across fields like medicine, law, and business. The book synthesizes decades of research from behavioral science, presenting empirical data and case studies to demonstrate how noise undermines accuracy and fairness. At its core, it argues for systematic approaches to reduce noise in professional and personal judgments, emphasizing the practical consequences of inconsistent decision-making. The work targets policymakers, managers, and professionals who rely on reliable judgment, highlighting the tangible costs of unchecked variability in outcomes.
