A wise, vivid and unforgettable combination of inspiring storytelling with decades of practical research and experience — Tim Harford, bestselling author of How to Make the World Add Up
Having researched the properties of planning errors, I am confident that nobody has studied the topic more broadly and deeply than Bent Flyvbjerg.

My only complaint about this book is that it wasn’t written earlier. It distills decades of systematic research from thousands of projects. The result is a crystal-clear pattern of surprising reasons why almost all big human projects fail to deliver as expected — Ola Rosling, bestselling co-author of Factfulness
The best scientific advice on project planning. It is arguably the bargain of the century.For a few dollars you can tap into thousands of dollars of insights in executive-education classrooms — Philip Tetlock, bestselling co-author of Superforecasting
A truly fascinating read.There’s a practical pay-off, too: a toolbox with eleven smart heuristics for better project leadership that every planner should know — Gerd Gigerenzer, author of Gut Feelings
