Overlooked: How Hidden Forces Shape Everything We Think We Control

"Some truths hide in plain sight. The most powerful forces shaping success, failure, and survival operate invisibly—and our instinct to trust what's visible blinds us to what actually matters.In OVERLOOKED, Robert Gass reveals the hidden patterns that determine outcomes across investing, business, relationships, and history. From the illusion of control that sank the Titanic to the invisible incentives that built Toyota, from the empathy gap that corrupts power to the entropy that kills empires, these overlooked forces shape everything we think we control.Blending evolutionary biology, economic history, and cognitive psychology, OVERLOOKED shows why meritocracy is a mirage, why expertise creates blind spots, why comfort breeds decay, and why the patience to see invisible patterns is the ultimate competitive advantage.For readers of Thinking, Fast and Slow and The Psychology of Money comes a book about the patterns we miss—and why learning to see them changes everything."Read more
