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
*Financial 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
*Economist*
An astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual
surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and
frequently touching
*The New York Times Book Review*
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
*Sunday Times*
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
*Wall Street Journal*
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
*Vanity Fair*
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

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

and engaging, but nonetheless stunningly profound. This book is a
must read for anyone with a curious mind
