There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. <b>That masterpiece is Daniel Kahneman's <i>Thinking, Fast and Slow</i></b>… <b>compulsively readable</b> from beginning to end... this is one of the <b>greatest</b> and most <b>engaging</b> collections of <b>insights</b> into the human mind I have read
- William Easterly, Financial Times
<b>Profound</b> . . . As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch, Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be
Economist
An <b>astonishingly rich</b> book: <b>lucid</b>, <b>profound</b>, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently <b>entertaining</b> and frequently <b>touching</b>
The New York Times Book Review
<b>The godfather of behavioural science</b>... his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady
- Josh Glancy, Sunday Times
<b>A tour de force of psychological insight, research explication and compelling narrative</b> . . . Thanks to the elegance and force of his ideas, and the robustness of the evidence he offers for them, he has helped us to a new understanding of our divided minds-and our whole selves
- Christopher F. Chabris, Wall Street Journal
<b>Wonderful</b>... To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so <b>rich</b> and <b>fascinating</b> that any summary would seem absurd
- Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair

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 judgments 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.
