The Flaw of Averages: Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty is a nonfiction business and decision-analysis book by Sam L. Savage. Its central concern is a common error in planning: treating a single average value as if it can reliably represent an uncertain future. Savage argues that this habit leads to systematic mistakes in forecasting, budgeting, and risk assessment because real outcomes depend on variability, not just central tendency. The book explains why average inputs can produce misleading outputs when relationships are nonlinear or when uncertain factors interact with one another. Written in accessible language, it aims to help readers think more carefully about uncertainty in business, government, and personal decisions. Rather than presenting statistics as an abstract discipline, it frames them as a practical tool for making better choices under real-world conditions.
