Noise by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein is a major behavioural science book about a hidden problem in human judgement: unwanted variation in decisions that should be consistent. The authors examine why people, professionals, and organisations often reach different conclusions from the same information.

The book explains how noise affects medicine, law, hiring, insurance, forecasting, performance reviews, and public policy. While bias pushes judgement in a predictable direction, noise creates random inconsistency, making decisions less fair, less accurate, and harder to trust.

Written by leading thinkers in psychology, decision science, strategy, and law, this paperback is ideal for readers interested in behavioural economics, critical thinking, management, leadership, psychology, and better decision-making.
