What is it about?
This is a book about thinking and how we make decisions. This is an evergreen title and Kahneman's work remains a best seller. He explains the factors that influence how we make decisions - when we rush into them and what happens when we take our time to reflect on them. He's an academic but this book lures you in to introspection. Thinking Fast, and Slow gives you guidance on how to improve decision making and gives the reader techniques on how to make smarter decisions.
Why should I read it?
If you have a fascination with how we think and how we learn, this book will appeal to you. It's a book about heuristics, analysing how our brain and thought patterns work to make decisions. If you are wanting to improve your decision making ability, read this book.
Is it a challenging read?
It is a book that requires your attention. Be warned, it is substantial - nearly 600 pages!
