Farsighted

How We Make the Decisions That Matter the Most

Steven Johnson examines how people and institutions make consequential long-term decisions, from personal choices to public-policy and business decisions. He draws on historical cases, cognitive science, planning methods, and forecasting research to show how alternatives can be mapped and evaluated before acting. The book argues that better decision-making depends on imagining multiple futures, recognizing uncertainty, and using structured tools rather than relying on instinct alone.
