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 . . .

There may be no other person on the planet who better understands how and why we make the choices we make.
