About this Item

First edition, early printing of this contemporary classic "in the same league as Adam Smithâ s The Wealth of Nations and Sigmund Freudâ s The Interpretation of Dreams" (Nassim Nicholas Taleb). Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, boldly inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To William, D. Kahneman." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Ridrigo Corral. In his mega bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, world-famous psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacationâ each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal livesâ and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a contemporary classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers. Seller Inventory # 144887
