Review
"Fascinating, eye-opening and consistently entertaining, The Hot Hand asks a big question: how do we determine when one success will likely follow another? The answer is not only surprising, but instructive.” (Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better)
“I’ve been on both sides of the ‘hot hand.’ I’ve had it, and I’ve faced opponents who had it. And I’ve written extensively about the role it played in my life. But Ben Cohen offers up an original and riveting deep dive on this fascinating topic, which relates to so many other pursuits. A feast for anyone interested in the secrets of excellence.” (Andre Agassi, winner of eight Grand Slam titles and New York Times bestselling author of Open)
“Long before I reached the end of this provocative and uniquely brilliant book, I knew I would never be ‘finished’ with it. Ben Cohen’s research shows how every day, from basketball to business to beet farming, human events are profoundly shaped by the power of streaks. I will never make another difficult decision without considering this.” (Sam Walker, bestselling author of The Captain Class)
“A fascinating book on the elusive allure of being on a roll. For any fans of human psychology, or numbers geeks, wolves of wall street, basketball obsessives – and anyone else who loves great stories that hint at the mysteries behind our decision-making, belief…and occasional runaway success.” (Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, New York Times bestselling author of Everybody Lies)
“Wall Street Journal sports reporter Cohen looks into the odd ‘science of streaks’… Cohen returns, always, to the game of basketball, but he pauses along the way to provide fascinating looks at coin tosses, investments, farm yields, and other real-world instances of how probability plays out in the world. Sports fans and science geeks alike will enjoy these travels in the world where numbers, luck, and superstardom meet.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
"Engaging... Intriguing." (New York Times Book Review)
"A fascinating look at decision-making and success." (Sports Illustrated)
“An unfailingly entertaining and provocative investigation… An absorbing, thoughtful and thought-provoking read throughout.” (Midwest Book Review)
"Captivating." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
"Cleverly crafted...an interesting and thought-provoking book on a topic that isn’t often discussed but that impacts many different interests, activities and industries."
