Super forecast (Market version)

Who This Book Is For

An ideal reader is someone who makes decisions under uncertainty and wants to improve them systematically. This includes policy analysts, government or NGO staff, business strategists, risk managers, investment researchers, journalists, and students/researchers in decision science. The reader is skeptical of vague pundits and seeks evidence-based judgment, calibration, and accountability. They relish probabilistic thinking, not black‑and‑white yes/no answers, and are willing to train like athletes of judgment: practice, feedback, and error analysis. They enjoy breaking problems into parts, using outside views/base rates, and updating estimates as new data arrives. They value precise forecasts, scoring rules, and post-mortems, and they want to design teams or cultures that reward accuracy over bravado. They’re curious about cognitive styles (foxes vs hedgehogs), and they’re prepared to adopt the mental habits of superforecasters—humility, curiosity, slow thinking, and disciplined revision—without requiring advanced math background. They read to apply the method in real work, not theory alone.
