One of the single most insightful works I have read.
People have biases and make convenient errors of judgement.
DNF I've read a lot of 'smart thinking' books and maybe they all borrowed from this author's work, but that just means I'm already familiar with many of the topics explored in this book. Great writing and a recommendation for those looking to understand the world and people more deeply.
You get a well-written textbook on the fascinating world of behavioural economics by the field's originator and along the way you also get a bit of his life story and a real feel for his deep loss of his friend and frequent collaborate Amos Teversky.

Very interesting. Took a lot of notes. The author wrote in a way that was comprehensible to lay people but not dumbed down. Also he was not arrogant like Steven Pinker. Applicable to many parts of life: home buying, work, any time you need to make decisions.

A very interesting and confronting read about the way humans think and how much of it runs on autopilot and is riddles with our biases and environmental priming. I found myself musing on the concepts of this book even when I wasn't reading it, and will definitely aim to check my thought processes regarding important decisions more thoroughly in the future.. though as Kaneman points out likely easier said than done.
I must mention though that the audiobook narrator is horrible (reads ever thing in the same droning tone) and I believe a lot of the examples would probably benefit from reading a physical copy or eBook

Sehr gutes Buch, man sollte schon in der Schule Auszüge daraus behandeln. Nur hat man manchmal einfach keine Lust gehabt weiterzulesen...
