He won the Nobel prize and he probably gets the most credit for developing game theory. The guy's a genius. I'm intimidated reading him write about how simple it was to just come up with ways of testing reactions words, frames, economic choices. It was simple. Just like that - snap your fingers and magic happens.

I think about these things forever and come up with the most complicated, convoluted untestable hypothesis. He snaps his fingers. I learn, he teaches.

A book that makes me depressed at being intellectually inferior is also brilliant and teaches me to take several baby steps forward.

It's good. Want to know what it's about - read all those other detailed reviews. Want to know how epic this man, Daniel Kahneman, is, look at the awe in my eyes.

It was good, but I could not mentally get through this type of book right now. I will try again later.

great book explaining the thought process and how are biases affect our decisions.

The author splits the brain into System 1 and System 2. System 1 is the instant thoughts and opinions which can be influenced by lots of factors.

An interesting book which uncovers lots of interesting and unintuitive ways the brain makes decisions.
