SpecificationsAbout the Author Daniel Kahneman is a Senior Scholar at Princeton University and Emeritus Professor of Public Affairs Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002.Author 1 Daniel KahnemanBook Description The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahnemans seminal studies in behavioural psychology behavioural economics and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking Fast and Slow Kahneman at last offers his own first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his lifes work. It will change the way you think about thinking.Format PaperbackEditorial Review There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Daniel Kahnemans Thinking Fast and Slow.Kahneman a winner of the Nobel Prize for economics distils a lifetime of research into an encyclopedic coverage of both the surprising miracles and the equally surprising mistakes of our conscious and unconscious thinking. He achieves an even greater miracle by weaving his insights into an engaging narrative that is compulsively readable from beginning to end. My main problem in doing this review was preventing family members and friends from stealing my copy of the book to read it for themselves...this is one of the greatest and most engaging collections of insights into the human mind I have read William Easterly Financial Times Absorbing intriguing...By making us aware of our minds tricks Kahneman hopes to inspire individuals and organisations to identify strategies to outwit them Jenni Russell Sunday Times Profound . . . As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be The Economist [Thinking Fast and Slow] is wonderful of course. To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd Michael Lewis Vanity Fair It is an astonishingly rich book: lucid profound full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching especially when Kahneman is recounting his collaboration with Tversky . . . So impressive is its vision of flawed human reason that the New York Times columnist David Brooks recently declared that Kahneman and Tverskys work will be remembered hundreds of years from now and that it is a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves. They are Brooks said like the Lewis and Clark of the mind . . . By the time I got to the end of Thinking Fast and Slow my skeptical frown had long since given way to a grin of intellectual satisfaction. Appraising the book by the peak-end rule I overconfidently urge everyone to buy and read it. But for those who are merely interested in Kahenmans takeaway on the Malcolm Gladwell question it is this: If youve had 10 000 hours of training in a predictable rapid-feedback environment-chess firefighting anesthesiology-then blink. In all other cases think The New York Times Book Review [Kahnemans] disarmingly simple experiments have profoundly changed the way that we think about thinking . . . We like to see ourselves as a Promethean species uniquely endowed with the gift of reason. But Mr. Kahnemans simple experiments reveal a very different mind stuffed full of habits that in most situations lead us astray Jonah Lehrer The Wall Street Journal This is a landmark book in social thought in the same league as The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith and The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud Nassim Nicholas Taleb author of The Black Swan Daniel Kahneman is among the most influential psychologists in history and certainly the most important psychologist alive today...The appearance of Thinking Fast and Slow is a major event Steven Pinker author of The Language Instinct Daniel Kahneman is one of the most original and interesting thinkers of our time. There may be no other person on the planet who better understands how and why we make the choices we make. In this absolutely amazing book he shares a lifetimes worth of wisdom presented in a manner that is simple and engaging but nonetheless stunningly profound. This book is a must read for anyone with a curious mind Steven D. Levitt co-author of Freakonomics This book is a tour de force by an intellectual giant; it is readable wise and deep. Buy it fast. Read it slowly and repeatedly. It will change the way you think on the job about the world and in your own life Richard Thaler co-author of Nudge [A] tour de force of psychological insight research explication and compelling narrative that brings together in one volume the high points of Mr. Kahnemans notable contributions over five decades to the study of human judgment decision-making and choice . . . Thanks to the elegance and force of his ideas and the robustness of the evidence he offers for them he has helped us to a new understanding of our divided minds-and our whole selves Christoper F. Chabris The Wall Street Journal Thinking Fast and Slow is a masterpiece - a brilliant and engaging intellectual saga by one of the greatest psychologists and deepest thinkers of our time. Kahneman should be parking a Pulitzer next to his Nobel Prize Daniel Gilbert Professor of Psychology Harvard University author of Stumbling on Happiness host of the award-winning PBS television series This Emotional Life A major intellectual event . . . The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves David Brooks The New York Times Kahneman provides a detailed yet accessible description of the psychological mechanisms involved in making decisions Jacek Debiec Nature This book is one of the few that must be counted as mandatory reading for anyone interested in the Internet even though it doesnt claim to be about that. Before computer networking got cheap and ubiquitous the sheer inefficiency of communication dampened the effects of the quirks of human psychology on macro scale events. No more. We must now confront how we really are in order to make sense of our world and not screw it up. Daniel Kahneman has discovered a path to make it possible Jaron Lanier author of You Are Not a Gadget For anyone interested in economics cognitive science psychology and in short human behavior this is the book of the year. Before Malcolm Gladwell and Freakonomics there was Daniel Kahneman who invented the field of behavior economics won a Nobel...and now explains how we think and make choices. Heres an easy choice: read this The Daily Beast I will never think about thinking quite the same. [Thinking Fast and Slow] is a monumental achievement Roger Lowenstein Bloomberg/Businessweek A terrific unpicking of human rationality and irrationality - could hardly have been published at a better moment. Kahnemann is the godfather of behavioural economics and this distillation of a lifetimes thinking about why we make bad decisions - about everything from money to love - is full of brilliant anecdote and wisdom. It is Kahnemanns belief that anyone who thinks they know exactly what is going on hasnt understood the question; as such its the perfect gift for opinionated family members everywhere.
