信息分析心理学 – Psychology of Intelligence Analysis by Richards J. Heuer

本书重点讨论了人类心理过程的基本局限性如何促使人们妄下结论并采用其他简化策略，从而导致可预见的错误判断，即认知偏差。这些认知偏差无法避免，但可以通过应用更有条理、更严格的分析技术来克服。书中介绍了困难决策中十分有效的方法——竞争性假设分析法，帮助读者尽可能排除认知心理问题的干扰，做出更好的分析和决策。

Psychology of Intelligence Analysis has been required reading for intelligence officers studying the art and science of intelligence analysis for decades. Richards Heuer, Jr. discusses in the audiobook how fundamental limitations in human mental processes can prompt people to jump to conclusions and employ other simplifying strategies that lead to predictably faulty judgments known as cognitive biases. These analytic mindsets cannot be avoided, but they can be overcome through the application of more structured and rigorous analytic techniques including the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses.
