Hi everyone
Finally! I finally finished Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
The book is my husband's and he ditched the dustcover so I can only show you how it's now.
"In the highly anticipated Thinking, Fast and Slow,
Kahneman 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.
Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and
biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of
intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss
aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of
predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of
properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of
cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning
the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how
the two systems work together to 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 lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against
the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you think about thinking."
This was tedious, slow and repetitive. The man is full of himself.
So yeah, not a fan.
Happy reading!
