About the book
Ben Cohen investigates the concept of the "hot hand" — the illusion that a player on a streak will continue to succeed — through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates sports, psychology, mathematics, and history. The book examines how our minds are wired to see patterns, even where none exist, and how this tendency shapes decisions in competitions, markets, and everyday life.
A fascinating exploration of the intersection between illusion, probability, and the human desire to attribute meaning to chance.
