Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman writes science and economics. We've read and reviewed 2 of Daniel Kahneman's books, including Thinking, Fast and Slow and Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, each scored and written up in full, with a clear verdict on who it's for.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for proving how irrational we really are, and Thinking, Fast and Slow is his masterful summing-up. It maps the two systems running your mind, one fast and instinctive, one slow and deliberate, and shows how the fast one quietly fools you all day long.
Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment
by Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass Sunstein argue that organizations bleed accuracy through random scatter in judgment, not only through systematic bias. Two underwriters priced the same policy 55 percent apart. Noise names that problem, shows how to measure it, and hands managers a working set of procedures for cutting it down.
