“Philip Tetlock is the world expert on a vital subject. Superforecasting is the wonderful story of how he and his research team got ordinary people to beat experts in a very serious game. It is also a manual for thinking clearly in an uncertain world. Read it.”

— Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Nobel Prize and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow

“The material in Superforecasting is new, and includes a compendium of best practices for prediction…The accuracy that ordinary people regularly attained through their meticulous application did amaze me… [It offers] us all an opportunity to understand and react more intelligently to the confusing world around us.”

— — New York Times

“The best way to know if an idea is right is to see if it predicts the future. But which ideas, which methods, which people have a track record of non-obvious predictions vindicated by the course of events? The answers will surprise you, and they have radical implications for politics, policy, journalism, education, and even epistemology—how we can best gain knowledge about the world. The casual style of Superforecasting belies the profundity of its message.”

— Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Better Angels of Our Nature

(Tetlock and Gardner) "...offer a fascinating insight into what we can learn from this elite group of people. They show the methods used by these superforecasters which enable them to outperform even professional intelligence analyst with access to classified data and they offer practical advice on how we can all use these methods for our own benefit whether in business, international affairs, or everyday life."

— Michael J. Mauboussin, Head of Global Financial Strategies, Credit Suisse

“Socrates had the insight in ‘know thyself,’ Kahneman delivered the science in Thinking, Fast and Slow, now Tetlock has something we can all apply in Superforecasting.”

— Juan-Luis Perez, UBS

“For thousands of years, people have listened to those who foretold the future with confidence and little accountability. In this book, Tetlock and Gardner free us from our foolishness. Full of great stories and simple statistics, Superforecasting gives us a new way of thinking about the complexity of the world, the limitations of our minds, and why some people can consistently out predict a dart-throwing chimp. Tetlock’s research has the potential to revolutionize foreign policy, economic policy, and your own day-to-day decisions.”

— Jonathan Haidt, New York University Stern School of Business, and author of The Righteous Mind

“Philip Tetlock is renowned for demonstrating that most experts are no better than ‘dart-throwing monkeys’ at predicting elections, wars, economic collapses and other events. In his brilliant new book, Tetlock offers a much more hopeful message, based once again on his own ground-breaking research. He shows that certain people can forecast events with accuracy much better than chance—and so, perhaps, can the rest of us, if we emulate the critical thinking of these ‘superforecasters.’ The self-empowerment genre doesn’t get any smarter and more sophisticated than this.”

— John Horgan, Director, Center for Science Writings, Stevens Institute of Technology

“From the Oracle of Delphi to medieval astrologers to modern overconfident experts, forecasters have been either deluded or fraudulent. For the first time, Superforecasting reveals the secret of making honest, reliable, effective, useful judgments about the future.”

— Aaron Brown, Chief Risk Officer of AQR Capital Management and author of The Poker Face of Wall Street
