Thinking, Fast and Slow
by
by
An explanation of our two systems of thinking (quick intuition and measured reasoning) as well as some of the biases and errors of intuitive reasoning which can cause us to make poor decisions. The explanation of the systems was very interesting, as to some extent was a listing of the errors. However, the section in the errors become long to the point of losing my interest and there was too much emphasis on the statistical results of the author's (and other's) research. I wish there had been more practical applications of how to correct the errors or at least a cheat sheet of the basics of the biases so that I could take more from this book into my life.
