Daniel Kahneman
Thinking, Fast and Slow
FSG, 2011
What's inside?
“Two systems” vie for control of your mind, and “two selves” decide your happiness. Can the four of you ever get along?
Recommendation
The topics that Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman addresses are both complex and integral to the human mind: He asks you to think about thinking by considering how your mind habitually contradicts itself, distorts data, and misleads you. His prose is lucid, his reasoning is rigorous, and his honesty is refreshing – more than once Kahneman illustrates conflicted thinking with examples from his own life. The result is not a fast read, but it’s an ultimately rewarding experience that provides lasting illumination.
