Tomas Chaigneau's Reviews > Thinking, Fast and Slow

The first few chapters were clever, fun and gripping (well as gripping as one might hope for from an economist). I wasn't quite sold on the type 1 and type 2 concept, but was willing to be convinced, there were many more pages to go. However rather than convincing me, the book went into some rather boring complex chapters that had little in common (in my opinion) with the start of the book. I felt the type 1 and type 2 forms of thinking, which were meant to be the thread that ties the book together had very little in common with the majority of the book. The last 3 chapters I only just had the patience to reach, were relevant for my area of work and therefore of particular interest to me. Nevertheless, I still found they were out of sync with the main aims of the book. The conclusion attempts to tie it all back together, a nice attempt, yet still a failed one.

As a book, I found it mostly tedious and dull, however, specific parts of it were brilliant and incredibly clever.
