Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan.
In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking 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 judgements and decisions.
Drawing on a lifetime's experimental experience, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our professional and our personal lives-and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you take decisions and experience the world.

Great Book
I am always on the lookout for ways to improve my scientific thinking. That’s why I have an interest in the areas of sociology concerned with decision making in groups and how the individual is influenced by this. And this is also why I have an interest in cognitive biases - intuitive judgments that we make without even noticing; judgments which are just fine most of the time but can be scientifically fallacious. Daniel Kahneman’s book “Thinking, fast and slow” is an excellent introduction to the topic.

interesting but a tough read
I found his book extremely interesting but I felt like a real slog at times as the subject matter was very dense.

Insightful, fact filled
Incredibly detailed, sometimes over explained, but amazingly well put together narrative. There could have been more 'so what' for the reader trying to relate the concepts to everyday life.

Outstanding
This is a simple explanation of how human beings make decisions and why certain decisions are extremely difficult for humans to make well.

love it!!!! I'm forced to write more than 15 Chars
this book is really thought provoking, and challenged how much I thought I knew about myself and the way I and other people think. I would recommend for those who are curious about how the mind reasons and why people make both good and terrible decisions.

eye-opening
In some ways much of the research in this book is not surprising but the detail makes it utterly compelling, and the personality of the author shines through in this book too.
