Blind Spot : Why We Fail to See the Solution Right in Front of Us

The Voynich Manuscript has been considered to be the worlds most mysterious book. Filled with strange illustrations and an unknown language, it challenged the worlds top code-crackers for nearly a century.But in just four-and-a-half months, Dr. Gordon Rugg, a renowned researcher, found evidence (which had been there all along) that the book could be a giant, glittering hoax.In Blind Spot: Why We Fail to See the Solution Right in Front of Us, Dr. Rugg shares his story and shows how his toolkit of problem-solving techniquessuch as his Verifier Methodcan save the day, particularly in those times when the experts on your team have all the data in front of them but are still unaccountably at an impasse.In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell and Dan Ariely, Dr. Rugg, a rising star in computer science, challenges us to re-examine the way we think, and provides new tools to solve problems and crack codes in our own lives.
