Careful! Heavy!
This book is worth every penny. Took me a hot minute to finish it and all chapters are full of scientific findings. Dont be fooled, this is not a casual read in any sense of the word, this is less scientific but not far from the appended scientific papers. Exploring why people feel, act and think they way they do in depth is neither an easy nor a short topic. The conclusion? You cant fix yourself being human, you can only try to be more assertive of the way you pass off first opinions and reactions and train yourself to be more thoughtful.
How anybody can think this is a good book is way beyond me. I tried, I really tried. But this is the most boring and incomprehensible book I’ve ever read. It’s like this was supposed to be an article but got way out of hand. It’s by no means “for everyone” like indicated on the back cover. As a mathematician I could follow some of the argumentation but there are definitely some substantial errors in how to see the world and how people behave. Life doesn’t happen in statistical possibilities and averages. Though I do now understand why traders and other economic professions are the way they are. Doesn’t make them any more likeable in my opinion.
Sehr gut für Leute, die an Psychologie im Alltag interessiert sind
Nervt irgendwie
It took me a long time to get through this book. It contains some information that I found quite interesting, some that I'd have considered common sense and some that the author considered common sense and for which he therefore didn't bother collecting data (which really threw me off). Reading Steven Pinker's Rationality at the same time as this book makes it clear that a lot of its findings are outdated or have proven non-replicable. The book did, however, spark my interest in thinking processes and the many biases our minds are subjected to. So I'd still recommend it to anyone interested in the topic, just maybe don't stop there.
Mindblowing
This book was kind of eye opening and explains with lots of details when and why you should trust your intuition with a bit of skepticism. I am still none the wiser how to have a feeling about statistical value, but lots of brain food for the next days. And the overall idea with both systems works pretty well and sometimes feels like talking about different personas or kind of a co-pilot who keeps the ship afloat.
Super, super, super spannend, aber er kommt einfach nicht zum Punkt. Im letzten Drittel war das Buch sehr langatmig.
This is *the* book about cognitive biases from *the* researcher that researched them for most of his live and got the Nobel prize for his work. Apart from the sometimes too exact (and partially boring) details about the experiments that explains these cognitive biases, this book explains pretty good why we humans are pretty stupid sometimes, and how to amend or at least understand your psyches own shortcomings. If you have any interest in psychology at all, you should definitely read this.
it was overly repetitive
