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.

probabil cea mai interesanta carte aparuta anul trecut, Thinking, Fast and Slow, are darul de a reuni toate cercetarile facute de laureatul Nobel impreuna cu partenerul sau, la fel de celebru, Amos Tversky, in domeniul rationalitatii si al psihologiei. Scris intr-o maniera accesibila chiar si pentru un neinitiat, cartea atinge subiecte precum intuitia, incapacitatea de a gandi statistic, formarea stereotipurilor si relatia acestora cu sistemul economic capitalist. o mina de aur, plina de anecdote si date.
