Fascinating concept on who we make decisions.

This book does a great job reviewing decision making processes. In some places it is a real eye opener, and in others it clarifies ideas that you may have had before in a much more nebulous form. I thought that it was a bit repetitive at times, and digressed too much at some points, but overall it was an absorbing and interesting read. While it has some light moments, this is a serious book that requires concentration to benefit from the insight it provides.

Should be taught in every school, at every capable grade, everywhere.

This is a very beautiful book.

Kahneman's witty and erudite style provides a well structured journey that, whilst unfamiliar to me, is deeply interesting.

There are seemingly endless brilliantly concise examples of various ways that humans respond in predictable but unexpected ways to decision making problems.
It is the first time I have found it difficult to put down a psychology book. I have already begun to recommend it to friends!
