Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

BATB score: 6.5/10

RIP Daniel Kahneman - the first famous author (that BATB knows of) to choose euthanasia / assisted suicide at 90 years old

*Reader Discretion Advised* An unpopular book review of a popular book coming up...

I salute to anyone who finishes this book; for me it's just too much! This book makes me hate reading.

Best to: basically, your brain has two systems: the fast emotional sensing monkey and the slow logic thinking Einstein; mostly the monkey wins.

Then the book cover this topic with so much so many social experiments and stories about everything and anything (and it just goes on and on). Don't get me wrong, I feel your effort Daniel Kahneman, every nerdy ounce of it.

Best for: it's a heavy research book on human illogical thinking; trust me, plenty of other books on behavioural economics that is both educational and a fun pastime read. not for the light-hearted newbie readers.

Best as: I give you $10. Tomorrow, I take that $10 back. Why are you upset? you are exactly where you were before we met. yep, because monkey wins.
