The Hidden Half By Michael Blastland

In The Hidden Half, Michael Blastland pulls back the curtain on a powerful but often ignored truth: half of what shapes our world remains hidden, messy, and unpredictable. Whether we’re looking at business performance, personal behavior, politics, or public health, Blastland argues that our desire for neat explanations often masks just how little we truly understand.

This book isn’t about conspiracy theories—it’s about intellectual humility. With sharp wit and real-world examples, Blastland shows how randomness, complexity, and unknown variables can disrupt even the most confident predictions. He challenges the overconfidence baked into many systems and decisions, urging readers to rethink certainty, embrace doubt, and stay open to mystery.

📌 “We are often too quick to assume that we know why things happen—when the truth is, a hidden half may always be at play.”

Whether you’re a data analyst, entrepreneur, policymaker, or simply a curious reader, The Hidden Half is a must-read for understanding the limits of logic, models, and expert judgment in an uncertain world.
