Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

Description
The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking.
Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.
Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives - and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Commentaires
“A tour de force... Kahneman’s book is a must read for anyone interested in either human behavior or investing. He clearly shows that while we like to think of ourselves as rational in our decision making, the truth is we are subject to many biases. At least being aware of them will give you a better chance of avoiding them, or at least making fewer of them.” (Larry Swedroe, CBS News)
“A major intellectual event... The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.” (David Brooks, The New York Times)
“[Thinking, Fast and Slow] is wonderful, of course. 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, Vanity Fair)

Intéressant mais il manque des supports visuels.
Livre riche en enseignements, les exemples aident a comprendre les propos de l'auteur. le texte est cependant dense et peut parfois paraître redondant. La lecture est claire et agréable y compris à vitesse plus élevée. Un problème cependant, le narrateur fait référence à des courbes ou schémas qui ne semble pas accessibles dans Audible, ais-je loupé quelque chose ? Les descriptions de problèmes basés sur des données numériques sont difficiles a suivre et mériteraient un support visuel également.

A classic and a necessary reading
This is a classic in the field of how humans function. It does not disappoint. The rigor, passion and precision of the author are the greatest asset of this dive into how we think.
I have read this in bits and Took my time. I will te-read it in a few years, as there is such a wealth of information here for everyone, that I can only use and apply so much at a time.
This book requires attention, and is not a casual read. But it is overwhelmingly worth your time if you want to understand cognitive biases, human behavior and how we can all improve our thinking.
The audiobook was good. I don’t have anything negative to say.

Notable content, but poorly presented and verbose
The author is clearly very competent in the topic and all the thesis are backed up by numerous examples and researches made by both himself and the others. It is also an extremely interesting domain and especially for those not familiar with it, might be a mind-blowing experience - proving that our thinking is often biased and far more faulty then expected, plus greatly affected by the current context and therefore easy to manipulate.
However, the books as well comes with a lot of personal digressions, stories, explanation of authors relations with the other scientists and everything else that for me is just unnecessary and makes this book far too long for its content. You can easily skip some random parts of it and be sure that the same topic will be fully repeated again and again later on.
As long as most of the proofs are convincing, I was a bit uncomfortable with some assumptions taken and with the author's attitude to his critics, which he IMO tends to not treat seriously. Also if the theories are taken seriously... they could actually put in doubts any social science including that in the book.. as it's just so biased and exposed to self-imposed interpretations... Last, but not least I am probably not the only one unhappy with the naming of the 'system 1 and system 2' being a bit infantile and bizarre,
Anyway, it's worth going through it, especially if you consider yourself fully rational, do science, are involved in any kind of marketing or just want to know, why you are so easily manipulated.

This for me just did not work in the audio format-- boring . I think the text format would lend itself to skipping ahead, looking back, the visuals of the data . Normally I'm pretty attentive to non fiction but this one just lost me in the details without a clear enough big thread to carry me thru.

Wow. Academic at times, but very thought-provoking
The subject line really says it all. It's not a book I would recommend for everyone---it does become a little academic and dense at times in it's presentation---but I think I found myself talking about this book to others more than any other book I've read the last few years. It was VERY thought-provoking and really had me reflecting on it's content as I walked around and dealt with the rest of my life. I know I'm going to carry many key ideas away from it and into the future.
Honestly, while I respect and enjoy Malcolm Gladwell and those types of books, THIS is the book that I've been looking for!

Intuition and reason are complementary
Tversky and Kahneman are, without a doubt, two of the most influential psychologists, all categories. Their simple, yet careful and creative experiments revealed how our decision processes are biased in systematic ways. Their research was deservedly awarded the Nobel Prize in economics. In this book, Kahneman summarizes and puts into context his work in a way that only someone who did the research could. Though I was quite familiar with Kahneman's work before reading this book, I learned many new interesting details. Sometimes when reading a long book about something you are interested in, your interest can wane. This book did the opposite. After having read the book, I am even more fascinated by the research described and how it impacts our lives (and it does).
Throughout the book, Kahneman uses the terms "system one and system two". System one is essentially our intuition or gut feeling. It govern most of our decisions and, in general, does a good job, even though it is prone to some biases (which Kahneman and Tversky have been exploring in their careers). System two, on the other hand, is like the sidekick in a movie who thinks she is the star of the movie. Or to use another metaphor I heard from David Eagleman: system two is like the government of a country. It takes credit for all the things that happen in the country, even though the government itself don’t do that much.
In other words, system one sits comfortably in the driving seat for most of our lives. We rely on our gut feelings even when we really shouldn't. System one evaluates arguments and questions in a very lazy way. An argument that sounds good or is presented by a good looking person is probably correct. If you have heard the argument before (even if it was rebutted), it is also probably correct. If the argument is consistent with one memorable episode in your life, then that is a strong argument in its favor (never mind the ten events that contradicted the argument). How you feel also matters a great deal when making decisions using system one. If you feel cranky and hungry, there is just no way that an argument can win you over, but after lunch most arguments suddenly appear much sounder and logical (judges who had just eaten lunch were much more likely to grant parole, than they were just before lunch).
Still sometimes system one gets stuck, and that is when system two comes in. System two requires focused attention. Therefore, it can only do one thing at a time. System two is also more scrutinizing, so if you want to prevent people from fact checking your arguments - do not make them overly complicated because that will just trigger system two - instead make it short, readable, and appealing to the emotions. If you do this, system one might swallow the message and system two won’t know what happened.
These are just some examples of how we work. Read this book and I promise that you will gain much insight into how people work and how they evaluate ideas. You will, of course, learn about all the systematic biases that people, most likely including yourself, employs on a daily basis (confirmation bias, representative bias, availability heuristic, regression to the mean, etc.). Thus, this book, unlike many self-help books, will teach you about yourself and in extension make you more aware of when you might fall into a trap
I am trying to come up with something negative or even just modestly critical to say about this book, but I can’t. It really is an excellent book with content that I believe should be taught in every classroom in the world. Don’t miss it.

A very large portion of the time when I am listening to audio books, I am working out or walking the dog. Unfortunately, this audio book is ill suited to those types of activities. The material is interesting and well presented, but frequently too abstract when you have to compensate for frequent minor distractions. It would be best listened to with the accompanying PDF in front of you and the rewind button easily at hand to review what the author has written when he presents examples. Despite the, the book is a good listen if you are interested in probability, statistics, economics, and psychology. I will very likely borrow a written copy of the book at some time in the future to review the sections that were just too difficult for me to fully understand in the audio format.
Were the concepts of this book easy to follow, or were they too technical?
The key problem I found was that the author frequently presents several types of statistical comparisons at once and then asks the listener to compare them. This may be simple in a written format, but in a audible format it can be very difficult, especially without a rewind or stop button easily available. As in most technical books with a little bit of depth, one often needs a little time and review to fully understand the concepts an author is presenting. Saying that does not discredit the author, but means that the listener is going to have to spend a little more time, effort, and preparation to understand what the author is sharing with the listener. Again, listening to the book with the accompanying PDF in front of me and my finger on the index button would have likely made a huge difference in my experience.

I so wanted to like this book
I know that this title has gotten some really great reviews, but it just wasn't for me. Maybe the cliff notes version would have been, but driving in my car listening to this was a chore and I was never able to get past the first two hours of "reading". If you're really into psychology, then maybe this is for you. I thought I would be, but I just couldn't do it.

Already Purchased Two Copies for Friends
I've already purchased two copies of this for my friends because I considered it so enlightening and eye-opening.
This book is extremely comprehensive, yet none of the material can be considered "filler" nor did I consider any of it to be boring in any way. I've been an avid reader/listener of neuroscience materials for quite some time, and this listen gained me more novel, original knowledge on this subject than I've been able to gather for a long while, and I've been able to apply a large portion of it practically in my own life, which is important to me (unactionable, non-applicable knowledge is useless in my opinion).
The narration is excellent and can be comfortably listened to at speeds higher than 1x if desired (I was listening at 1.25x), which says a lot about how well-spoken and clear the book's narration was. Patrick Egan also did a wonderful job at inflection and was not at all monotonous.
If you like "figuring out" how people think and why they think that way (including your own thinking), then this book is for you. Very good listen indeed!

Good material - wrong format
What did you like best about Thinking, Fast and Slow? What did you like least?
This is a great book best experienced in another form. Many times the narrator refers to illustrations or figures that are available separately. The digital ebook or paper book version of this is probably a better way to experience this.

Eye Opening
Would you listen to Thinking, Fast and Slow again? Why?
Still listening. Sometimes the chapters have to be rewound. Brimming with insights. As the argument progresses, one sometimes needs to stop, slow-think in system 2, and then restart. The work cannot be praised enough. At every other turn one is reminded of Socrates, whose premise was that the ideas exist in us. They just need to be drawn out by proper application of the mind. This book is brimming with ideas so well presented that once understood, they very easily become system 1 (with some practice of course). Amazing.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Thinking, Fast and Slow?
Learning the tools by which to understand and apply the book. This would be the first two hours. One moment is hard to pinpoint in such non-fiction as this.
What three words best describe Patrick Egan’s voice?
The narrator could be better. But its ok. The work is very powerful, and the narrator is good enough. This could be something subjective as well so I don't want to judge harshly. I am enjoying the audio book very much. Thank you.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. Several sittings.
Any additional comments?
Very refreshing, original work. Excellent. A tour de force.

How to hack a brain - tips from a seasoned hacker
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book provides some great insights into how our minds work, and when you analyze your own, you will soon realize that yours is also being hacked on a daily basis without you even being aware of it.
Being an IT security expert, it is difficult to not draw parallels to that universe when reading this book, realizing how our minds are being exploited on a daily basis without us even noticing.
Some of the topics and examples are fairly well known and the reader have most likely heard about or experienced them before, but here you get a good explaination for them and how much of it fit together. Those of you who are facinated by skilled mentalists like Derren Brown will gain some insights to some of their
What did you like best about this story?
The easy-to-grasp explainations and the practical examples demonstrating how these traits apply also to the readers mind.
What about Patrick Egan’s performance did you like?
Very good reading voice and overall performance, perfect fit with the right level of authority and credibility.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me wonder where i can get an antivirus for my brain.
Any additional comments?
Mandatory reading for all wanna be mind hackers.

*The* Book on Behavioral Decision Theory
I've been a junkie on this topic ever since I took the first class Richard Thaler (Author of "Nudge" and heavily cited in this book) ever offered on Behavioral Decision Theory. Kahneman and Tversky are the great pioneers of the subject. Kahneman's book does not disappoint. This subject is so important it should be required reading.
Kahneman does an excellent job of making the subject clear and understandable. The narration is excellent. This is a first-class effort in every way.

Super interesting insights into human behavior but
But also very very very detailed. If it wouldn't be read to me I would not have made it through.
Learned a lot!

Not for laid-back listening
The book has a lot of great information in it for those interested in psychology and our biases influence our thinking and decision making, but unfortunately it is written in a very dry and uncreative way in my opinion. It feels more like a combination of published papers, rather than linear story. This made it very difficult for me to concentrate while listening.

Ein "Must Read"
Das Verständnis vom Denken an sich verbessert sich mit diesem Buch um einiges.
Daniel Kahnemann stellt unser Gedankenkostrukt, unser "Mind", aufgeteilt in zwei gedachte Systeme dar, die sehr gut die menschliche Denk- und Handlungsweise erklären.
Meiner Meinung nach ist das Thema für jeden in Betracht zu ziehen, damit mehr Aufmerksamkeit den Situationen geboten wird die der Gefahr unterlaufen durch Intuition des Unsinns zu verfallen.
Daniel Kahnemanns Schreibweise ist klar und verständlich, sie ist auf die Verständlichkeit ausgelegt; im eigentlichen kann jeder dem Inhalt diesed Buches folgen.
Ich empfehle dieses Buch daher jedem, egal welcher Bildungsschicht, weiter, der sein Verständnis der Welt und des Menschens verbessern will. Das Wissen und Verständnis das durch dieses Buch erlangt wird lässt sich sehr gut auf vielerlei andere Bereiche übertragen.

Should you trust your intuition?
“Thinking fast and slow” delivers interesting insights on the psychology of decision making, the two systems operating within us and how psychological biases and errors lead to problematic decision making.
Rich in examples, it shows that intuitive judgement can be a pleasurable shortcut, but oftentimes leads to the wrong conclusion.
They key takeaway is that once you are aware of the existence of certain mental errors, you can approach situations, in which they are likely to occur, more carefully and by that make better decisions. This however is often easier when observing others than when you find yourself in the mine field of mental errors.
The book questions the notion of the rational human and his ability to make decisions that maximize his well-being. This has important implications for incentive creation in public policy making.
Overall great book, that needs to be read and reread deliberately to get reminded of the flaws of ones judgement.

Could have been more concise.
More like 3.5 stars. Not because the content is any less amazing but because already internet especially those science channels on YouTube have milked every single interesting idea from this book. It ruined a lot of fun discoveries for me. If you’re new to the world of behavioural sciences and want to learn from the best of the bests, this is the one.

Great translation of scientific thinking
Just great! But you have to be open for theoretical and scientific approaches to be able to undestsnd where Daniel Kahneman is coming from. Otherwise, it will be hard to follow for some parts.

Very interesting topic and well written and read.
very intersting topic about how we perceive situations differently and subsequently shows we react to these and the logic or illogic behind our decisions.
I can really recommend this book to anybody who is interested in the workings of our mind, especially our intuitive and rational systems.

Boring
Nothing new that can't be said within an hour or less, too much examples of things that are already clear.
HOWEVER: If you have never dived into the topics of statistics and or psychology this book is the perfect entry and a must
for anyone else, it's a good remedy against insomnia

Zufrieden
Nachdem das Buch schon fast 3 Jahre auf meiner „To-read“ Liste stand, muss ich sagen ich bin nicht enttäuscht! Das Buch stellt ein paar sehr gute Beobachtungen dar, die die Wahrnehmung im Alltag formen. An manchen Stellen repetitiv, aber alles in allem ein sehr gutes Buch das ich gerne weiterempfehle!
