benkaboo 's review for:
Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Summary: Provocative book that suggests we are far less in control of how we think than we (or at least I) had any idea.
Things I liked:
Lots of evidence and experiments to back up his findings.
Provocative ideas that you can immediately apply to your own experience.
A good overarching model that flows nicely from introduction, body and conclusion. In particular I find a lot of non-fiction books like this that tender to wander or lose the plot in the last third of the length; I was very pleasantly surprised that this book didn't do that.
Things I thought could be improved:
Quite long, it took me a long time to get through it.
Highlight:
Heaps of great 'aha' moments but I think I really liked the section on the experiential self versus remembering self.
