About this product

Product Information

The acclaimed bestseller that will change the way you make decisions In 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 and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive, and emotional; the other 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 behaviour. The importance of properly framing risks, the effects of cognitive biases on how we view others, the dangers of prediction, the right ways to develop skills, the pros and cons of fear and optimism, the difference between our experience and memory of events, the real components of happiness-each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions.

A "must read" for anyone who thinks we are logical, rational thinkers.
So, we're smart right? Rational, logical thinkers? Ummm... No. We may imagine we are making smart, logical decisions but we're all prone to unconscious biases and distorted, illogical thinking patterns. Result -- we make poor decisions, with sometimes disastrous results. Thinking is hard work, and our brains are lazy. When presented with difficult questions, we take short cuts, and subconsciously replace difficult questions with easier ones which we prefer to answer. Result: poor decisions, based on the unconsciously-substituted "easier" question we actually answered. This book is one of those few which will never be obsolete, and will always repay revisiting. For anyone involved in decision making, or HR jobs, or psychology, or curious about how humans goof up so often, this book is ... So, we're smart right? Rational, logical thinkers? Ummm...

For anyone involved in decision making, or HR jobs, or psychology, or curious about how humans goof up so often, this book is fascinating. It is by no means a quick, or easy, read. The ideas here require time and effort to absorb and internalise. But anything revolutionary is challenging at the beginning. A lifetime's worth of perception and wise insights is shared here generously, humbly, cogently -- and each chapter ends with some illustrative statements which crystallise the chapter topic in real life scenarios. A wealth of material copiously illustrated with examples throughout. A book for every thinking person. It could well change the way you think -- for the better. Who knows who else might benefit from that.... I cannot recommend this book too highly..

Common sense repackaged as insights, psychobabble and "new" theories.
Psychology book in which common sense is presented as psychobabble and jargon then dispensed as science and new discoveries or "insights" into the way people think. For example the presentation of "prospect theory", in which someone's decision making process between two variables is found to be a function of what they are comparing. Such as the choice between getting a million dollars for sure or a 25% chance of getting four million, is found to be different for someone who already has ten million, compared to someone who has nothing. This can be summed up in the simple common sense phrase "It's all relative", with no need to research or explain or needlessly develop "new" behavioural theories. Then the equally absurd "theory induced blindness" in which a researcher develops a theory and ... Psychology book in which common sense is presented as psychobabble and jargon then dispensed as science and new discoveries or "insights" into the way people think.

This can be summed up in the simple common sense phrase "It's all relative", with no need to research or explain or needlessly develop "new" behavioural theories. Then the equally absurd "theory induced blindness" in which a researcher develops a theory and can't see things any other way. A classic case of someone not being able to see the wood for the trees. Even the main premise of the book as referred to in it's title is simply about instinctive (fast) and considered (slow) thinking. It goes on and on in the same vain for over four hundred pages without offering a single new insight which could not be encapsulated by a simple common sense couplet or well known idiom or proverb. This cannot be disguised by the author's chatty and self-effacing writing style in which his familiarity with us and occasional pretension of doubt of his own theories is another manipulative tool used so we can forgive our "friend" for his true but rehashed drivel and jargonisation. Not only that, but such insights, rather than being of use to humanity, or adding to the sum of human knowledge, are useful only to the worst and most cynical and untrustworthy type of manipulative psychologists; the marketeers, advertisers and salesmen.

Excellent book
What a wonderfully written book. Anybody who has any interest in ways of thinking and reacting - intuitively, subconsciously or deeply considered - should read this. I’m an animator and found the subject of believable actions and reactions a fascinating subject in order for my characters to appear more realistic. I’d used my system 2 for far too long on whether to purchase this book. Trust me, buy it. It’s great work. There’s a ‘Long Now Seminar’ podcast available for anybody wanting a taster. I can see how Kahneman won a Nobel prize. Recommended readWhat a wonderfully written book.

Ok book!!!
The book teaches you a lot about psychology while also making you think about life in ways that you would never interpret it. Only minor con is that the book can be complicated at times and somewhat repetitive!!!

Really good stuff
Hi there, The point is I went through this book in Polish language. It is really good thing. From my point of view what is strongly required is a need to go from the first page to the end. In conclusion I need to say the knowledge inside this book makes life easier. Kind regards Marcin
