Thinking, Fast and Slow

De: Daniel Kahneman

Narrado por: Patrick Egan

Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan.
One of the most influential books of the 21st century: the ground-breaking psychology classic - over 10 million copies sold - that changed the way we think about thinking
Why do we make the decisions we do? Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman revolutionised our understanding of human behaviour with Thinking, Fast and Slow. Distilling his life's work, Kahneman showed that there are two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. His book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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… compulsively readable from beginning to end... this is one of the greatest and most engaging collections of insights into the human mind I have read (William Easterly)

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

An astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching

The godfather of behavioural science... his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady (Josh Glancy)

A tour de force of psychological insight, research explication and compelling narrative . . . Thanks to the elegance and force of his ideas, and the robustness of the evidence he offers for them, he has helped us to a new understanding of our divided minds-and our whole selves (Christopher F. Chabris)

Wonderful... To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd (Michael Lewis)

This is a landmark book in social thought, in the same league as The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith and The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan )

Daniel Kahneman is among the most influential psychologists in history and certainly the most important psychologist alive today...The appearance of Thinking, Fast and Slow is a major event (Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct )

This book is a tour de force by an intellectual giant; it is readable, wise, and deep. Buy it fast. Read it slowly and repeatedly. It will change the way you think (Richard Thaler, co-author of Nudge )

Daniel Kahneman is one of the most original and interesting thinkers of our time... In this absolutely amazing book, he shares a lifetime's worth of wisdom presented in a manner that is simple and engaging, but nonetheless stunningly profound. This book is a must read for anyone with a curious mind (Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics )

A masterpiece

A brilliant collection of psychological findings, told with dry humour and deep insight into human fallibility.

Review

Outstanding book. A must read for everyone in the world. We all make decisions so you will benefit from the information delivered in this book.

A wealth of research and analysis, overwhelming in parts

Ultimately we have system 1 and system 2. System 1 is quick, intuitive, relies on experience and memory. System 2 is more rational, logical, time consuming and data or fact driven. However even system 2 can produce unexpected results. All in all human beings make decisions in complex and unpredictable ways

good book and very well read

A fantastic book well written and narrated. Must read to know how we think and act.

must for all including investors

do we really need to say we I liked? it is a classic and reading it for the second time.
