Biasimare gli errori e stigmatizzare l’ignoranza sono considerate pratiche virtuose. Necessarie. Ma le cose, forse, non stanno proprio così. Prendendo spunto da aneddoti, dalla scienza, dallo sport, da pensatori come Machiavelli, Montaigne e Sandel, ma anche da Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee e Roger Federer, Gianrico Carofiglio ci racconta la gioia dell’ignoranza consapevole e le fenomenali opportunità che nascono dal riconoscere i nostri errori. Imparando, quando è possibile, a trarne profitto. Una riflessione inattesa su due parole che non godono di buona fama.

Mi chiamo Cristian Baldassarre, il mio sogno era quello di diventare un noto Avvocato pensando in questo modo di poter aiutare gli altri... ma iniziando a frequentare le aule dei Tribunali, ben presto capii che per essere davvero utile alle persone, dovevo intervenire prima, molto prima...Non provenendo da una famiglia di Avvocati, ho dovuto buttare giù parecchi bocconi amari e sopportare l'umiliazione di concorrenza spietata e senza scrupoli, ma questo non mi ha impedito di portare avanti il mio progetto di "Tutela Globale".

But it is perhaps the most inefficient. Misdiagnoses, wrong prescriptions, operating on the wrong patient, even operating on the wrong limb (and amputating it).
