Thinking, Fast and Slow

A Nobel laureate's tour of the shortcuts the mind takes: fast intuitive judgement and slow deliberate thought, and where each goes wrong. Good for noticing when a confident inner voice is guessing.

Worth knowing: Long. The chapter on priming relies on studies that later failed to replicate, and Kahneman publicly acknowledged this in 2017. Read it selectively and skip that chapter.
