The New York Times Bestseller, acclaimed by author such as Freakonomics co-author Steven D. Levitt, Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nudge co-author Richard Thaler, Thinking Fast and Slow offers a whole new look at the way our minds work, and how we make decisions.Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

A divorce is like a symphony with a screeching sound at the end—the fact that it ended badly does not mean it was all bad.

We know from studies of priming that unnoticed stimuli in our environment have a substantial influence on	our thoughts and actions.	These influences fluctuate	from moment	to moment.	The	brief pleasure	of a	cool	breeze on a hot day may	make you slightly more	positive and optimistic about whatever you	are evaluating at the time. The prospects	of a convict	being granted	parole may	change significantly	during the time that elapses	between	successive food breaks in	the parole judges’ schedule. Because you	have little	direct knowledge of	what goes on	in your mind, you will never	know that	you	might have made a	different	judgment or	reached a different	decision under very slightly different circumstances
