The BBA

Thinking, Fast and Slow

Having heard this book referenced on so many podcasts, I felt I had read it already. It mostly delivered on expectations and gives you plenty to think about (pun intended) when it comes to how one forms opinions and how to evaluate situations, particularly those outcomes evaluated by numerics. The first half of the book is stronger than the second as it began to feel redundant and wander around –– almost like Kahneman approached it as “well I did all this research and I’m going to tell you about it even though I’ve already made these points previously.” Certainly could be considered and “airport bookstore” book, but with far more substance than others.
