Short summary

What's it about?

Nat Greene dismantles the instinct that sabotages every tough problem you face: guessing. From ancient survival reflexes to modern boardrooms, quick answers feel productive but bypass the root cause entirely. Greene's nine behaviors form a counter-curriculum: Feel the Problem by using all senses at the failure site, Embrace Your Ignorance to shed false expertise, and Believe in the Simple Solution once you've mapped the real breakdown. Paul DePodesta's Moneyball statistics crushed scout intuition; the same fact-based rigor applies to any complex system you're trying to fix.

You'll learn:

- Why experts often block fresh insight

- How measurable variables prevent misdefined problems

- The discipline of eliminating causes without investigating all
