Welcome to Litsy!

63rd book for the year!

Must Read Book ! A very detailed introduction to human errors and biases! Later I will read it again and then maybe again and then maybe again 😂

Interesting Read!

Useful and not uninteresting. The book is something of a professional memoir wherein Kahneman shares his lifework in the psychology of decision-making. Full review on goodreads:

My April #doublespin. Onwards to May!

I‘ve been scarce here in April, busy and bogged down in the tagged book which I am reading with work colleagues. It‘s good but I don‘t think I‘ll finish until this weekend. Meanwhile I have assembled my reading possibilities for May. #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

My last book for 2020 was a perfect encapsulation of the year; tedious, repetitive and I couldn't wait for it to end. Some good ideas in this book, but the author hammered them in again and again until i felt like tossing the book aside. 3 😐😐😐

Will have to read again, but good

Finally finishing this book up.
It was interesting and full of information. I struggled to get through it. If you‘ve read it - what are your thoughts on it?

🎧 my next audible listen 🎧

I‘ve been slowly reading this book. It‘s interesting, but a lot of information.

This book has many of the greatest insights into human mind. Our various biases, presumptuous and faults are thoroughly discussed with proper research.

Although it's not a casual read. One has to take time to read it.

I'll probably read it again sometime soon :)

We are as far from rationality as we are from the next closest galaxy

Guess our social media has been using the same strategy to highlight bullshit 😂

Almost done with it, it‘s interesting but some of it is lost on me due to listening to it and not reading.

.

This was one of the best books on human behavior I‘ve read in a long time. Sometimes, it does feel like a textbook, but Kahneman makes the topics relevant and show how they apply to everyday life. I‘ll definitely use principles from this book to make smarter choices

Heard a lot.. Time to explore.. 😃
Can i get some generous comments ?
#psycology

I think my own thinking is conflated slow and fast thinking, very annoying: I think about everything, yet can't grasp anything. I don't think Kahneman can teach us how to think without thinking, which is the highest form of thinking. As the Buddha says: whatever you think it is, it is something else. Our thinking is not thinking, but not thinking is not thinking either. We must avoid thinking altogether yet not lose our ability to think.

“As a way to live your life, however, continuous vigilance is not necessarily good . . . “ (Kahneman 28).

You know how some words get permanently attached to specific characters? 😄

I‘ve been here before (black ink time and brown ink time) but this time (blue? purple?) I feel much more confident (and I‘m on Spring Break 😉).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An absolute #mustread. This book is one of the best I've ever read. Full disclosure, this us a heavier book and will require concentration. The payoff is 100% worth the effort.
It changes your perspective on your own mind & exposes your biases. This book is a great playbook to how you can better understand the world and interact with people.

Meeting with a great group to discuss this fanatic book!

😳😳😳
Shots👏have👏been👏FIRED!! Kahneman pulls no punches and rips into Built to Last as being founded on an errant belief system! #fierce #Nonfiction #clapback

Great read! Espesially in the era of fake news

Ein hervorragendes Buch von einem genialen Autor. Es bietet so viele Möglichkeiten zur Entscheidungsfindung und ist ein Meisterwerk der Fachliteratur. Kahnemann schafft es ein komplexes Thema für nicht Wissenschaftler aufzubereiten und verständlich zu machen

Started reading this #Nonfiction book about how our minds process the world around us & the inherent biases we operate off of.

Bias - ways your makeup will naturally misunderstand the world.

This book is incredible in its ability to transmit ideas that, once recognized, seem so obvious that it only reinforces their power by the fact that you never thought Of them yourself.

This book will change the way you understand yourself, others and how the world works.

Highly recommend.

The illusion that we understand the past fosters overconfidence in our ability to predict the future.

The world in our heads is not a precise replica of reality; our expectations about the frequency of events are distorted by the prevalence and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.

We are far willing to reject the belief that much of what we see in life is random.

We perceive the world of objects as essentially separate from the world of minds, making it possible for us to envision soulless bodies and bodiless souls.

Intelligence is not only the ability to reason; it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed.

In the economy of action, effort is a cost, and the acquisition of skill is driven by the balance of benefits and costs. Laziness is built deep into our nature.

Adding this #Nonfiction #NYT best-seller to my #TBR stack.

You know that just finished a book and have no idea what to read next so you download a bunch of books to see which one feels right? No, just me...okay 🤦🏻‍♀️

It was really interesting- but I‘d recommend reading the physical book - not listening on #audiobook - got to be too much to remember! #nonfiction

Good

Just wanted to show off my little library area! As far as physical books go I‘m currently reading Thinking, Fast and Slow and I absolutely love it! Danny is a great writer and I can‘t wait to get through this one.

Loved the content of the book, really makes you think of the unconscious biases when we make decisions or evaluate situations. Very academic so it needs a little patience: concept are often repeated in a didactic way. Recommend reading paper or kindle and not try audiobook, because the content is too complex.

Based on brief exposure to photographs and without any political context, the election winner was the one whose photograph telegraphed competency. “As expected, the effect of facial competence on voting is about three times higher for information-poor and TV-prone voters....” 😕

An interesting read about how we think and how good at it (or not) we really are. Some things made a lot of sense, while others were surprising. Learned a lot.

Honor to read it through

Changed my view on how I/we think (or even not)

What say you guys?

Took me a while to get around to reading this. Yep it is brilliant. Kahneman has been at the forefront of behavioural economic and psychology and in this book he distils his experience about how we think, split into type one ( rapid, instinctive, intuition focussed) and type two (slow, methodical and logical) and how the interactions of these two systems control our actions and equally are the cause for the errors of judgements we make.
