Summary
With Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or less. We read every chapter, summarize, and analyze it for your convenience. This is an Instaread Summary of Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Below is a preview of the earlier sections of the summary.
Introduction: In this book, Daniel Kahneman hopes to identify and understand errors of judgment and choice. He wants to provide a richer and more accurate vocabulary to discuss these errors. He worked with his colleague, Amos Tversky, doing research on intuitive statistics. The two of them had already concluded in an earlier seminar that their own intuitions were lacking. Their subjective judgments were biased, they were too willing to believe research findings based on inadequate evidence, and they collected too few observations in their own research. The goal of their study was to find out whether other researchers had this problem as well. Kahneman and Tversky found that participants in their studies ignored the relevant statistical facts and relied exclusively on resemblance. They used resemblance as a heuristic (rule of thumb) to simplify things when making a difficult judgment. Relying on this heuristic caused predictable biases (systematic errors) in their predictions. The research partners learned that people tend to determine the importance of issues by how easy they are retrieved from their memory. This is brought about in large part by the extent of coverage of the issues in the media. Kahneman presents a view of how the mind works, drawing on recent developments in cognitive and social psychology. He explains the differences between fast (intuitive) thinking and slow (deliberate) thinking. People have a limitation in their minds: an excessive confidence in what they think they know.

It’s not the book! Just criticism of the book
I just so sad that I was sure that I have spent my credit on something useful but this is 30 min review of the book. That must be for free 🤬

good narrative, poor book
as newbie on the topic I found some of the topics easy to understand. most of them required additional understanding, but by then the chapter was already explained on a whole new subject. additionally, I listen to audio books while commuting by car, so pausing in order to reflect on a chapter is not really an option

nice audio book
I liked the projection of the reader's voice. It was very clear and made me desire to listen more and more. I liked the repeat of concepts in the section for takeaways. I also liked the content of the conclusion made about the book as a whole.
