About this audiobook
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman offers a general audience access to over six decades of insight and expertise from a Nobel Laureate in an accessible and interesting way. Kahneman’s work focuses largely on the problem of how we think, and warns of the dangers of trusting to intuition – which springs from “fast” but broad and emotional thinking – rather than engaging in the slower, harder, but surer thinking that stems from logical, deliberate decision-making.
Written in a lively style that engages readers in the experiments for which Kahneman won the Nobel, Thinking, Fast and Slow’s real triumph is to force us to think about our own thinking.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The narrative is in outline form. It seems abstracted by a computer. The redundancy is inane. The outline form seems to be an inane abstraction by a computer. Key points: There is a redundancy here that even a computer would find inane. The narrative is in outline form...

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very repetitive. Some sections literally repeated earlier sections. If you can hang with the lack of organization and editing, you can get a fairly good idea of key theses. I say that having read (most of) the book; I wanted a quick review. Given that MACAT is all about critical thinking, I found the poor organization sadly ironic.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Is this a summary of the book or an essay written by a student about the author ? I don’t care what the writing in the original book “shows” about the authors intellect or its impact on society! I just want to know all the key lessons the book teaches without having to read it myself! Mostly because scribd doesn’t have the book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you like psychology and how it can affect the behaviour even in areas as Economics, this book is for you. Very good summary!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Not worth it. ....... . ... ... ... .. ...
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Too much repetition for an analysis. The author's credentials & historical influences are repeated over and over. One paragraph rather than 3 plus chapters should suffice. I gave up after the 3rd chapter began with a repeat of previous info. So I am moving on to another publisher's analysis, which knows that a person who chooses a summary wants to save time rather than waste it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't feel I actually learned something actionable. The book reiterates the same premise in many ways, but no solution. At least I missed it, if there was any.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Its not the book. Its a bad review. Real bad. IA?
