About this listen
From technology to business, two (or more) heads often prove to be better than one - but only if those heads are cognitively diverse. Diverse perspectives are a powerful tool for maximizing productivity and enhancing collective performance. Now, in The Hidden Factor: Why Thinking Differently Is Your Greatest Asset, you can learn the strategies that make you a more diverse thinker and position you to break down institutional silos and build robust, effective teams.
Delivered by Professor Scott E. Page of the University of Michigan - a pioneering researcher in his field - these 24 thought-provoking lectures are packed with case studies, cautionary tales, and formal mathematical methods that prove the case for cognitive difference.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fascinating and challenging
Really interesting presentation on the value of cognitive diversity. There is a lot of maths (not my strong point) and the presenter refers to visual aids on a number of occasions. Still, a fascinating presentation that will help people see the world more clearly and help make better decisions.

For teenagers
Really interesting topic with a lot of potential depth but if you’re over 15 you will soon tire of the lecturers high-school level delivery. “I had nine cows, not 10 hahah” wut. His accent when explaining algorithms is also too confusing - air=error=arrow hahaha bonk. Got 4 lectures in before it became too basic to listen to.

Fascinating
Fascinating book. A bit geeky at times with all of the Maths but it has a lot of good, useful ideas about the benefits of cognitive diversity

Another cracking course from Scott Page
Having loved the course on Complexity I dived in to this one with high expectations. It has a lot more maths, which is not a strong point for me, but was brilliant regardless. The lectures are crafted beautifully, material is well paced and the overall course flows really well. Scott Page is an excellent speaker. More please.

Lovely
The title doesn't give this course enough credit
Gives great tools and examples to help express and prove your intuition on complex scenarios
Great lecturer too, love his style. I'm not sure what he has against skaters though!

Diversity Diversity Diversity Diversity Diversity
The term rightly became a pejorative in recent times. Book goes some way to justify the formal use, using mathematics and statistics.

Another Great Course!
While I enjoy these courses, this is my least favourite this far. Its still great, but it is heavy on the maths and as such doesn't listen as well as others.
As always however, there is much to learn from this course so in that sense it does not dissapoint.

Simple ideas on the usefulness of diverity
Mostly driven by a series of toy models that point out that adding diversity to a group is better than adding more of the same knowledge/fitness/ideas/models/etc.
Would be nice to have gone deeper into empirical research.

Audio of a video presentation
Not practical as an audio book as the lecturer refers to drawings on a whiteboard. Really doesn’t work

Excellent take away a but formulae and equations via audible isn’t a good listen
Loads to take from this
This lecture 4 was the one that was poor as was too heavy on the maths
At least one or two nuggets from each lecture
Worth sticking with it
