'A profound, intriguing, and important book that reveals as much about human nature as the remarkable power of the brain. Every insight comes to life through real-world examples of the potential and the pitfalls of the hidden patterns all around us. I loved it.' Susie Dent

'I was amazed, reading this, how much we overlook the gaps around us... Made me look around my own life and wonder "What have I missed?"' Jeremy Vine

'A wide-ranging and engaging guide not only to our blind spots, but to our blind spots about our blind spots. Delightful!' Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up

'An enjoyable look at 'missingness' and how it affects the way we experience the world' The Arts Desk

We all like to think we're making decisions based on reality, but in fact, we're almost always working from incomplete information. And when 'you don't know what you don't know', it can be impossible to navigate successfully.

In You Don't Know What You're Missing mathematician Kit Yates explores the blind spots, gaps in our knowledge and how we make sense of the world given we usually have an unfinished picture. From avoiding common traps and pitfalls to filling in the gaps without guessing, it shows us how to turn our misses into hits.©2026 Kit Yates (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
