Willful blindnessWhyWeigNoreTheoBviouSaTourPeril

margaret Heffernan

the surprising reasons we turn a blind eye to problems—and how to see more clearly to prevent pitfalls and disasters in our personal, professional, and civic lives.

Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and say, how could we have been soblind? Why do some people see what others don’t? and how can we change? Drawing on studies bypsychologistsandneuroscientists,andfrominterviewswithbusinessleaders,whistle-blowers,andwhitecollarcriminals,distinguishedbusinesswomanandwritermargaretheffernanexaminesthephenomenonofwillfulblindness,exploringthereasonsthatindividualsandgroupsareblindtoimpendingpersonaltragedies,corporatecollapses,engineeringfailures—evencrimesagainsthumanity.

We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety, and to protect prestige.But greater understanding leads to solutions, and heffernan shows how—by challenging our biases,encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicatedproblems—wecanbemoremindfulofwhat’sgoingonaroundusandbeproactiveinsteadofreactive.

praise for Willful Blindness:

Barack obama’s election was widely perceived as a turning point in american foreign policy after thecontroversialandoftendivisiveperiodundergeorgeW.Bush.Thegreatexpectationsforchangeinstyleandsubstanceweresignificantly,possiblypermanently,temperedaccordingtorobertSingh’sanalysisatthemidwaypointofobama’sfirstterm.

Thedistancebetweenthe“changeeuphoria”ofNovember2008andtherealityoftodayistheresultoftwokeyfactors.First,theinternationalproblemsconfrontingobamaappearintractable,especiallywiththeunitedStatesstretchedthin,botheconomicallyandmilitarily.equallyimportant,thepartialdeliveryofobama’s“changeagenda”hasbeencriticizedbyconservativesasadvancingamerica’sdeclineandbyliberalsasshowingcontinuitywiththepoliciesofhisrepublicanpredecessor.

Singh argues that obama’s international approach of “strategic engagement” and his search for thepragmatic ideological middle have cost him political support at home and abroad and have failed tomakedecisivegains.assuch,whileassessinghisforeignpoliciestotheemergenceofwhatisbecominga “post-american” world, the president has yet to craft or preside over a long-awaited renaissance inamericangloballeadership.
