Thinking, Fast And Slow

Hard cover. Very good quality. Finished reading first two chapters. The book essentially talks about how the mind works. This is helpful in identifying our biases and actively countering them. So definitely a read for those who are interested in understanding how does our brain impact our actions.

Love it

This book has been referenced so many times in my recent reads that I had to re-read it. Clearly Kahneman is a deserved Nobel prize winner and he shows us exactly why. It takes courage to question rational decision making theory but Kahneman does it by getting the reader involved in the research itself. Quite a clever way to present his groundbreaking research on the role of 2 systems in processing information, the questioning of human beings in always being rational and finally diving into the complicated subject of well-being through experiences v memories. A must read for anyone interested in the field of economics, this book also underlies the importance of psychology in economics and makes one wonder why we don’t introduce the area of behavioral science in our early teachings of economics.This is however a difficult read and Kahneman could have made the book a lot shorter and still driven the same points home just as effectively.PS: he does give deserved credit throughout the book to his colleague - Amos Tversky.

An amazing ready that will surely leave you knowing much more thank what you thought you knew. More important, helps you better understand how to map your circle of competence.

Book is dented, there are tearings on its spine.

The paper is so thin and poor in quality, everytime I turn a page, I'm afraid I may end up tearing it.

The book lacks the engaging factor.Through history, writers excelled in presenting their info in an entertaining manner so that the reader could absorb and process the new info while enjoying the journey. This book looked like a mathematical piece quite uninteresting and unexpected from a Noble prize winner.Disappointed, I had to put it down after reading the first chapter.Regretted the money paid.

The paper quality very bad not original this book
