There have been many books written on the same research presented here, and while this book is an incredible consolidation, I found it lacking in readability. As others mentioned, it is a book that takes time, which is odd, given that its author knows so very much about human thought processes.

Strangest of all is his insistence on numbering the two mental pathways as "System 1" and "System 2". This bizarre and counterintuitive labeling makes a simple concept laborious. Why not label them fast and slow?

If you haven't read much in behavioral economics, this will be an interesting book. But there are better books on the topic, and this is by no means worthy of the praise it has been given.
