The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral 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 life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking.

Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.

Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives--and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.

very intersting topic about how we perceive situations differently and subsequently shows we react to these and the logic or illogic behind our decisions.
I can really recommend this book to anybody who is interested in the workings of our mind, especially our intuitive and rational systems.

Very interesting topic and well written and read.

Perfect for audio book. Allows for a better understanding as you hear it. Even if u don't think uts important to change how you think, it is helpful to understand the common modes of failures in general thinking and intuition.
The narration seems very removed from the writer. Ofc the accompanying PDF needs to be seen not heard.

A must read/hear

Very highly recommended. Not 5 stars only in comparison of other fascinating masterpieces. Otherwise, for the subject-matter a "must-read".

Wonderfully insightful book. Very enjoyable

Anschauliche und zum Teil praktikable Darstellung über die menschliche Entscheidungsfindung und ihre Tücken. Die Menge an wissenschaftlich gestützten Erkenntnissen ist enorm und evtl überwältigend, läd jedoch zum nachschlagen ein!

Anschauliche und Praktikabel
