Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan.

In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour. The importance of properly framing risks, the effects of cognitive biases on how we view others, the dangers of prediction, the right ways to develop skills, the pros and cons of fear and optimism, the difference between our experience and memory of events, the real components of happiness-each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgements and decisions.

Drawing on a lifetime's experimental experience, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our professional and our personal lives-and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you take decisions and experience the world.

Critic Reviews

"There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow. Kahneman, a winner of the Nobel Prize for economics, distils a lifetime of research into an encyclopedic coverage of both the surprising miracles and the equally surprising mistakes of our conscious and unconscious thinking. He achieves an even greater miracle by weaving his insights into an engaging narrative that is compulsively readable from beginning to end. My main problem in doing this review was preventing family members and friends from stealing my copy of the book to read it for themselves... this is one of the greatest and most engaging collections of insights into the human mind I have read." (William Easterly, Financial Times)
"Absorbing, intriguing...By making us aware of our minds' tricks, Kahneman hopes to inspire individuals and organisations to identify strategies to outwit them" (Jenni Russell, Sunday Times)
"Profound ... As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch, Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be." ( The Economist)

Revolved the world of bias with Daniel

One of the longest books I ever read. Even though it is long it didn't read reduce the worth of each chapters. Every single chapter recorded in this book is worth reading even the end credits. We've lot more bias in decision making and problem solving than I thought would be. If you want to know how our system is flawed and wanting to escape from making bad decisions and calculations this book is for you. It gives you all the tools to make you more of a rational person by overcoming the unconscious bias.

Insightful and practical

Marvellous book on human behaviour and decisions. Written in an easy to understand language with clear examples to settle any doubts in the minds of readers.

Audible has to, though, think about how to make the PDFs, pictures, and figures visible to the listener since these material are only referred but not explained fully by the speaker, depleting the learning experience.

Good read and story line a little bit repetitive

This is an excellent read. The examples and storyline gets a little monotonous sometimes. All in all a good read.

Brilliant insight into how we make decisions

It is an involved read/listen. I had to rewind more in this audiobook than any other. Not for lack of clarity, but because the concepts are best repeated for retention.
A book everyone should read in today's information overloaded world where everyone is out to hack you.

Excellent book that makes you 100% disciplined in learning to think

It was a beautiful assimilation of research based inferences to explain how our mind is designed to think and how much we without knowing operate on autopilot but believe it’s us doing that thinking and deciding, quite the contrary.
One could appreciate the approach to make us understand what’s behind making the decisions we make..

Insightful and well-researched

Daniel Kahneman’s masterpiece is a must-read for every human being. The flaws in our thinking are so stark and undeniable when presented with the kind of data that’s in this book that I can’t help but keep reminding myself of “system 1 and system 2” every time I have to make a choice. My only problem is that I need to re-read this book so that I can absorb it fully with the images alongside. While this audibook does have the pdf guide along with it, I prefer running or doing chores while listening, so it’s not convenient to see a PDF alongside. I guess that’s not a flaw of audible but rather the design of this book happens to require it.

Must Read

This book is the giant arch through which one can enter the fascinating world at the intersection of psychology and economics. It gives the reader a peek into the workings of our minds and presents inherent cognitive biases and heuristics that guide most of our decisions and behaviour without us even knowing of their existence. Read this book if you wish to understand why people behave the way they do.
