Thinking, Fast and Slow | Daniel Kahneman
Major New York Times bestsellerWinner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award in 2012Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the best books of 2011A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 TitleOne of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year 20112013 Presidential Medal of Freedom RecipientIn the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacationeach of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal livesand how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.

TheBookHippie @BeeCurious people who live by fear or follow a religion of control and fear are already there. You just have to do this. Critical thinking was taken out of public schools by the teach to test method on purpose. Until we stop seeing people as other this will be truth. So sad. 10h

Useful and not uninteresting. The book is something of a professional memoir wherein Kahneman shares his lifework in the psychology of decision-making. Full review on goodreads:

My last book for 2020 was a perfect encapsulation of the year; tedious, repetitive and I couldn't wait for it to end. Some good ideas in this book, but the author hammered them in again and again until i felt like tossing the book aside. 3 😐😐😐

This book has many of the greatest insights into human mind. Our various biases, presumptuous and faults are thoroughly discussed with proper research.

Although it's not a casual read. One has to take time to read it.

I'll probably read it again sometime soon :)

This was one of the best books on human behavior I‘ve read in a long time. Sometimes, it does feel like a textbook, but Kahneman makes the topics relevant and show how they apply to everyday life. I‘ll definitely use principles from this book to make smarter choices

Thinking, Fast and Slow | Daniel Kahneman

I think my own thinking is conflated slow and fast thinking, very annoying: I think about everything, yet can't grasp anything. I don't think Kahneman can teach us how to think without thinking, which is the highest form of thinking. As the Buddha says: whatever you think it is, it is something else. Our thinking is not thinking, but not thinking is not thinking either. We must avoid thinking altogether yet not lose our ability to think.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An absolute #mustread. This book is one of the best I've ever read. Full disclosure, this us a heavier book and will require concentration. The payoff is 100% worth the effort.
It changes your perspective on your own mind & exposes your biases. This book is a great playbook to how you can better understand the world and interact with people.

BGam I have this in my shelf... the title of the book appealed to me much that I bought it and it also happens to be a best seller. I haven‘t read it though but will soon in near future with a pencil to underline.. the old school way 😃 4y
Vivlio_Gnosi @BGam thanks for the feedback! I'm thrilled to hear your reading strategy. That's exactly how I studied the book. It's now filled with underlines, footnotes, cross-references, etc. This text is also a good source for additional titles to add to your #TBR stack! 4y

Bias - ways your makeup will naturally misunderstand the world.

This book is incredible in its ability to transmit ideas that, once recognized, seem so obvious that it only reinforces their power by the fact that you never thought Of them yourself.

This book will change the way you understand yourself, others and how the world works.

Highly recommend.

Loved the content of the book, really makes you think of the unconscious biases when we make decisions or evaluate situations. Very academic so it needs a little patience: concept are often repeated in a didactic way. Recommend reading paper or kindle and not try audiobook, because the content is too complex.

Based on brief exposure to photographs and without any political context, the election winner was the one whose photograph telegraphed competency. “As expected, the effect of facial competence on voting is about three times higher for information-poor and TV-prone voters....” 😕

An interesting read about how we think and how good at it (or not) we really are. Some things made a lot of sense, while others were surprising. Learned a lot.

TheresaGivan I definitely do both. If it‘s really good sometimes I read super fast. But sometimes I read slow because I just don‘t want it to end. I also read fast if the book isn‘t good and I DO want it to end. 😂 6y

LoverofLit Both as well. Some stuff I just eat right up. But others, I read and stop and re-read passages or read certain points out loud, trying to savor and understand the meaning. 6y

Took me a while to get around to reading this. Yep it is brilliant. Kahneman has been at the forefront of behavioural economic and psychology and in this book he distils his experience about how we think, split into type one ( rapid, instinctive, intuition focussed) and type two (slow, methodical and logical) and how the interactions of these two systems control our actions and equally are the cause for the errors of judgements we make.

Speaking of Thinking Fast and Slow:
"He enjoyed most of the experiments because, like the subjects, his System 1 gave the same false answers before his System 2 kicked in"
"We felt the case was compelling, but wondered about opposing views- we didn't want to fall prey to 'what you see is all there is'"
"Her experiencing self often groaned at so many gambling experiments. Yet her remembering self rated the book highly for its important insights."

Aimeesue I ❤️ Daniel Kahneman. 6y
Billypar @Aimeesue Yeah- he's brilliant- I knew some of the research but great to hear it all summarized like this.. I had to pay tribute in my review to the section endings where the terminology is discussed in conservational snippets... Such a nerdy Psych professor thing to do 🤓 6y
Aimeesue 😁 6y
Aimeesue I work for people with developmental disabilities (mainly autism) and their families. I use his theories all the time, mostly on parents. 😋 6y
Billypar @Aimeesue Very nice! I studied parenting and developmental psych in grad school. I did more social-cognitive & behavioral stuff, but I never realized until TFAS how many central cognitive psych findings originated with Kahneman, or that he was associated with. 6y
