Description

The phenomenal international bestseller - 2 million copies sold - that will change the way you make decisions 'A lifetime's worth of wisdom' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics'There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece.

That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow' Financial Times Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

    In this book, Daniel Kahneman summarizes decades of research he conducted with Amos Tversky. It is about the academic journey that "established" and laid the foundation for a branch of behavioral economics. It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason there is now extensive research on cognitive biases is largely due to these two individuals and their contribution. This is why Kahneman was awarded the "Nobel Prize in Economics" (awarded only to living individuals).

    The reason why cognitive biases are a popular topic today is partly because of this book.
