aaronmarkey 's review for:
Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
challenging
informative
inspiring
reflective
relaxing
slow-paced
Extremely interesting and entertaining, it can be a bit dry in the middle sections. A good read for anyone interested in learning about how humans make decisions.
The core premise of the book is summing up research of the author over many decades of findings which present compelling evidence that humans have two core systems for decision if making. Neither of these systems are in complete control and neither follow the rational-actor model so very popular amongst economists.
I found the book extremely interesting and insightful. The fourth of five parts is a bit dry and difficult to get through, but overall a fantastic book and vastly better than most books in the psychology genre.
