Breakthroughs rarely arrive from tidy analysis; they emerge when we spot contradictions, connect unlikely dots, or feel the productive pinch of creative desperation.

In Seeing What Others Don’t, Gary Klein distils decades of fieldwork into a practical model of insight built on those three paths. Through crisp cases, he shows how curiosity, attention to weak signals, and story‑shaped sensemaking surface hidden assumptions and open side doors. Klein pushes back on the fixation with bias and error reduction: you can’t checklist your way to an epiphany. He offers tools to make room for revelation and challenge dogma.

This is a playbook for generating discoveries, not just avoiding mistakes—and for seeing opportunities that others might miss.
