Thinking, Fast & Slow📚Daniel Kahneman_2
Daniel KahnemanSystem 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation―each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a contemporary classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.Daniel Kahneman (/ˈkɑːnəmən/; Hebrew: דניאל כהנמן; born March 5, 1934) is an Israeli-American psychologist and economist notable for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making, as well as behavioral economics, for which he was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with Vernon L. Smith). His empirical findings challenge the assumption of human rationality prevailing in modern economic theory.Daniel KahnemanKahneman in 2009BornMarch 5, 1934 (age 89)Tel Aviv, British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel)NationalityUnited States, IsraelEducationHebrew University (BA)University of California, Berkeley (MA, PhD)Known forCognitive biasesBehavioral economicsProspect theoryLoss aversionSpousesIrah Kahneman;Anne Treisman (1978–2018, her death)AwardsAPA Lifetime Achievement Award (2007)Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2002)Presidential Medal of Freedom (2013)Tufts University Leontief Prize (2010)APS Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award (1982)University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award (2003)Scientific careerFieldsPsychologyEconomicsInstitutionsPrinceton University 1993–University of California, Berkeley 1986–93University of British Columbia 1978–86Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences 1972–73Hebrew University of Jerusalem 1961–77ThesisAn analytical model of the semantic differential (1961)Doctoral advisorSusan M.
